'67s had white headlight bezels and white [I call 'em "chicken lips" because they were so hard to find] grille moldings. They could also be a contrasting color. On a white truck the trim might be blue. I'm not sure if '67 "buckets" were also white or black. (I've only seen black originally)
'68s had aluminum headlight bezels and chicken lips and the buckets were black. Also there was more aluminum trim on the fenders and hood that the '67s don't have. A contrasting color was sometimes painted on the whole face of the grille. I have a '68 C/10 in 516 (hugger) Orange with a white face. I salvaged a silver painted grille off a light metallic blue '68 Sub for my '67 Sub (after I hit a deer). I don't know if these trim color schemes were factory or dealer -added, or if some plants had different styles from others.
Update: I just paid attention to the '68 grille on my '67 sub, it has silver [Fawn] buckets, matching the Fawn paint on the grille. this was originally on a metallic light blue truck. The original '67 grille was in pieces when I bought it. White grille, black buckets, dark blue chicken lips. Headlight bezels were aluminum -- off a '68 I guess.
