Re: unigue to 67'
I have a 68 with painless wiring, and my headlights do this also. I thought something was wrong.

Re: unigue to 67'
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.

Re: unigue to 67'
No front fender or front hood trim.
All equipped with manual choke. That's all I got...

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.

Re: unigue to 67'
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.

Re: unigue to 67'
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'
Here's a few shots of 67 dashes and knobs. Plain, tach, and that elusive speed warning (set at 82 mph!) . Sharpie

Re: unigue to 67'
They didn't have a dome light switch mounted in the door jamb.

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.
