Buy a 68 First year of big motor,best looking nose(but weld up markers,put on a 67 cab(for small window)drop on 72 DB setup.but in my pesonal honest opininion a 67 GMC is by far the coolest with chrome grille,all chrome is cool in my 69 but needs a slanted hood!!!Well easiest thing to do go find a loaded 72 and put on a 68 Nose.

I'm suprised how popular the 67-68's are becoming in this series. Most books I have have read proclaim how popular the 69-70 and 71-72 trucks are compared to the 67-68's.

BADASS2001CHEVY · 08-17-2002, 10:40 AM

How hard is the install of the different nose?

**BIG ORANGE** · 08-17-2002, 11:58 AM

I agree with DR on what looks the best on these trucks.

justin · 08-18-2002, 10:37 AM

67 or 68
That front end is simply the bomb!
Slam it to the ground, slap on some paint and cruz!

BADASS2001CHEVY · 08-18-2002, 11:35 AM

See now im felling a strong urge for the 67-68, thats what the magority likes.

VNMOUS · 08-19-2002, 12:10 PM

I LOVE THE LOOK OF THE 67 ESPECIALLY LIKE A STEP SIDE !!

69gmcfleet · 08-20-2002, 10:04 PM

'69 GMC lwb
They have the best looking hood and grill w/4 lights.
What is a truck without a long bed?
IMO just old enough, but not too new.

'67 is my choice, because of the slanted hood and clean body lines. But if you want front discs and 5 lug hubs then get a different year and put a '67 front end on.

Then you've killed 2 birds and got stoned. You've got the ability to find better rims, and front disc brakes; and the nice front end. But if you go that way you MUST shave out the rear markers too.

Ok so I can buy a 71'-72' and put a 67' front clip on and have disks and 5 lug rims?

colohusker · 08-23-2002, 05:35 PM

discs, unlike previous years, and no smog control unlike the 72. It looks more like a modern truck with the honeycomb grille, but still in a classic stye.

BADASS2001CHEVY · 08-23-2002, 05:43 PM

Whats that again buddy? What year?

71GMC_3/4T · 08-23-2002, 08:01 PM

71.
Metal Door Skins inside.
Disk Brakes.
If not, then a 67 or 68. I think the hood and grille look a lot better.
