I like the pictures on the pattson.com site. It makes it easier to understand. Thanks, Stocker.

Re: how to i.d the different years.?
hmmmmm..... That site says that 70 was the first year to offer a tilt wheel. It also say in 69 all the side markers were lights not reflectors.
I have a 69 parts truck. it had a tilt wheel I put in my 71. also, the rear side marker lights were just reflectors. (no light holes in them) I put those on my 71 also. I know that all this stuff could have been changed by a PO. But, is this infact true info? |

My '69 had reflectors only. And I KNOW grandpa did not change them out.
