How to identify 1967 Chevy/GMC trucks
I have a need to educate myself on how to recognize 1967 trucks.
With the help of this sites search, I have compiled a simple list of items that seem to be exclusive to 1967. I was unable to find much on 1967 GMC trucks Is this due to similar parts, and only badges and such were different between Chevy/GMC? Thanks much...don t. ... EXTERIOR: fenders and bedsides without side markers small back window LWB Fleetside wheel openings are the same as a SWB GMC grille and emblems 67 door handles are a 1 year only fit ... To expound on Tinker's post I think it's exterior door handles on 67 67-68 GMC gates had smaller stamping template. In '67 two-tone the top color stops at the drip rail. In '67 the wheels were painted black and hubcaps were white 67-68 windshield and rear window trim is skinner than newer years I believe the rear tail light trim option in 67 was the eye brow only where as years after were the whole light trim and only top bar for tail gate trim where as following years had the bottom trim as well... **REPLY: That's how both '67 & '68 were. It came with the side trim. 67 hood does have a small difference from 68.(lip at the rear of the hood) INTERIOR: base model packages have no inner door arm rests only driver side mirror and sunvisor one year only rearview mirror arm and knobs on dash .. ridges on the knobs like a quarter. inner door handles and window cranks are skinnier .. ridged knobs, inside door handles, crank handles Vent window is also different on the 67 ... Different wing window handles .. screws at base of wing window frames ... No hole for the knob on vent windows on a 67. Vent handles were used on 64-67 .... wing vents had different latches the didn't require a hole in the glass. Different instrument cluster bezel, ignition switch bezel, ash tray, wiper switch, cigarette lighter, horn button Wrinkle glove box door .. glovebox door texture same as gauge cluster bezel interior paint could be different from exterior paint ... interior paint color went with interior trim color... ... Seat back flips forward ... fold forward seat .. Buddy buckets on 67 fold forward, 68's don't. ... buddy buckets were standard on CST/Super Customs ... buddy buckets had flat wide pleats ... 67-68 emergency brake was hand pull I think the 67 auto column shift indicator was more round than the other years at the back of it. Wasn't there a year the column indicator housing was metal? Radio delete trucks had radio delete cowl panels and I think no antenna hole in firewall 67-70 throttle rod Early 67 seat belts had the airplane style buckles ...and the mounting bolts used different bolts/different thread ... the kick vent is the same shape but the handle arm is higher on a 67 than a 68-72. the arm is mounted higher in 67 so you cant see it. In 68 it was lowered so the stamp out is also lower in 68. You cant interchange them without drilling new holes in the cab kick panel. 67 visor hooks MECHNICAL: 67 v8 alt brackets.(not sure if these are carryovers) 67 frame rail being wider in the engine area. Front frame horns are wider No frame dimple for steering box IF it came with PS it was a ram assist style setup Front parking lights turn off when headlights are turned on Firewall on 67-8 different around the brake and column area 1967 was only year 283 available 1967 had no big block option 67-8 core supports have a splash pan on the bottom of them. 67-8 fuse Blocks are orientated 90 degrees as opposed to other years. 67-68 had steel air boxes on firewall for heat and 69-72 were plastic also the foot print was different. THE END. |
