I have a 68 with painless wiring, and my headlights do this also. I thought something was wrong.

If it's a real '68, yeah something is wrong. The amber lights should stay on when the headlamps are energized on a stock-wired '68. Someone at Painless must've sold you the wrong package from a '67. [Although they usually tend to update earlier wiring systems with stuff like extra circuits for stereo, HEI, SI Delcotron -One Wire -- and like that.] Unless I'm jumping on a typo: '68 when you meant to say '67?. If so, disregard.

It's funny how many people had no idea about the park lights, myself included. I've assumed this whole time that mine did not work correctly. haha. Thank you very much for this piece of info!

No front fender or front hood trim.

All equipped with manual choke.

Re: unigue to 67'

Black heater controls with separate fan switch mounted below dash. No rubber mounts for the core support. Gauge bezel has a silver painted edge. My ignition key is shaped like an octagon not square. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

Re: unigue to 67'

Checking various year's catalogs is a good idea.

I keep the catalogs on hand from LMC for reference. 67-72 and the years just before and just after.

They have helped us a lot while we are working on these old trucks.

I have a '68 swb stepper bed with a '62 GMC tail-gate.

This was a great thread. I wondered where the pass sun visor hole went :-) My 67 had only 2 line items on the glove box sticker. As bare a model as you could get.

69 was the changeover. 67/68 style had the cool park brake cover accesory as well, usually on higher end trucks. Sharpie

Re: unigue to 67'

The back up lenses were actually the bullseye style until 71. The taillight trim was also used for 2 years. (67-68) The rear view mirrors were black in 67 (if they had one) and the chrome one pictured was 68 i believe. In addition to the one year only exterior door handles, the interior door handles and the window cranks were for 67 only. I believe the arm rests were 67 and older also. The 67 gmc hood was the only slope nose one with no letters on it either. I think 67 was also the only year with the "GM" tag inside the door.
Good thread.

Re: unigue to 67'

When did they start the windshield mount rear-view mirror cause my 68's is on the windshield and there is no mounting holes in the ceiling.

Re: unigue to 67'

I think this is how the rear view mirrors were. 67 above the windshield like pic above, 68 glued to the windshield, 69-71 mounted above the windshield and 72 glued to the windshield like the 68's. Is that right?

Re: unigue to 67'

72 was the only year mounted to the glass for a rearview.
The black heater controls were indeed 67, but the fan was the center arm. 68 may have used the black face also, but i am no positive on that.
Manual chokes came on all 67 and 68s unless equipped with a 327 or 396 Q-jet.
Keep in mind, rear view mirrors were an option into 69 so if your truck didn't have one there would be no holes in the roof.
