what model front clip?

[srea76]

Anyone know if just the grill is changed or thew whole front clip on this truck? The man is telling me it is a 68 but the vin is coming back 72.

[bdydrp97s10]

it has a 68 front clip on it for sure.. but i cant remember if power brakes came on a 68?

but if your vin is coming back a 72, then it is a 72

It wasn't just the grill.

It could be the front clip. The cab may have been put on another frame.

Does it have disc brakes?

I have not checked the breaks. Just looked at it yesterday a friend told me about it. It has very little rust and most of the body work is done. He is asking 500. I thought it sounded good. Even if I use some of the parts for my truck.

67/68 used a large horizontal handle to pull emergency brake, while 69/72 used a floor pedal. That may give you a clue of the cab has been changed.

The Master cylinder looks like it goes with a disk brake setup. Normally the drum/drum has the same size for both fluid reservoirs.

What does the frame VIN say?

[Longhorn Man]

whats the VIN?
Has the VIN tag been tampered with?
what does the title say (assuming you are getting one since it is not required there)
does the VIN on the frame match the cab?

If you posted some pics of the inside of the cab we could tell you pretty quick if the cab is a 68 or a 72, a photo of the VIN plate would tell a whole lot.

[srea76]

Vin is CCE142A161639

[Palf70Step]

From the pictures it is a later model (69-72) cab.


With all the other indicators, I'd say it is a 72 with a 68 front clip.
The double CC starting the VIn tells me (as does the rest) that it is a 72 VIN#

The doors are not 72's.

[leddzepp]

Based on the VIN, you have a 72 cab.

Seem's a bit of a mystery to me. The steering shaft is 69-72. The e-brake pedal is 69-72, but the dash looks 67-68. I'm not sure, but I don't think 67-68 had power brake. If you buy it and tear it apart, another clue is the core support mounting holes (the bracket attached to frame) the 67-68 had a small hole for the rubber mount and the 69-72 a larger hole 1.14" vs. 1.67". This will at least tell you what year frame you have. Good luck !

there should be a vin on the frame on the drivers side ahead of the cab i believe. the dash looks like 69-72(just 2 holes compared to a possible 4). I would lean towards a pieced together pickup, but check the vin on the frame(it'll tell you if it matches the cab).

[thelonerife]

it looks like it may have a truck tilt. That, if its in good shape could fetch 300. You can also look under the seat at the flat middle section of the floor( under the seat). If it has some stamps in it and its not flat there, its 67 or 68 cab.Looks like 67-71 doors, 68 clip, 72 cab poss. Check the vin tag . Is it put on with regular rivets or flower shaped ones?

[red69ss]

looks like a 72 cab swap, but at that price I wouldn't hesitate to buy,deffinently $500 worth of parts there.

[joemacho]

ok here is my 2 cents the gauge cluster is a possible 72 cluster cause my fathers 72 is the same and he got his from the factory like that then the booster my brothers 68 came with a booster in his longbed truck and the spid on the glove box all say that

[jay6891]

Cab been drilled for a rear view mirror, or does it look like it was attached to the windsheild? My vote is a reclipped 72 model. Still I would buy it just for the parts.

[Shock_Me]

like BigMike said, the doors are not 72's, (no screw below vent windows), but the door panels sitting on the floor are 72's. Only year with those plastic formed units.

[mclairmo]

Look at the support brackets for the booster, that's 71-72 only. Must be a 71-72 cab with 68 front clip.

Better check and see how much of that bondo is gone
