What is your favorite year truck? It does not have to be the year you own, but the style and look that is your favorite. If you can post a pick off the web or of your own that supports your answer.

Re: What is your favorite year truck???
I use to only like the 71-72 grill for these trucks and never liked the early 67-70 grills but now that i own a 69 i honestly love the 69 grills

Re: What is your favorite year truck???
even though i own three 72s my favorite is the 68. my first build on this era trucks was a 69 short step 4x4. when i was finished with it it had a fleetside bed and 68 nose, i still kick my a$$ for selling it. my second was a 72 3/4 ton 4x4 that i kept as a 72. if my current project wasn't a factory cheyenne 3/4 ton that was bought brand new by my now deceased uncle it would get a 68 nose too. that 67-68 nose just looks like it is correct in my opinion. 69-70s are next on my list. i've always thought 71-72 grilles look like the should have eggs in them,lol.

Re: What is your favorite year truck???
I am partial to the '67 swb stepside with the small rear window I used to have. It was my first truck. It had a 283(my favorite v-8) and a simple Rochester 2 barrel manual choke. I had her for 28 yrs. and sold her in '03 when we moved out of state for awhile. I have missed her ever since.

Re: What is your favorite year truck???
Man, that is a tough question. That is like saying do you like this supermodel or that supermodel......
I am partial to the 68, since I have had one in my life since I was 2 years old. However, I think the 67 CST SWB big back window has the smoothest lines. After adding a 72 to my stable, I have come to appreciate the creature comforts that more of these years offer stock and they don't look bad either. Not to forget the GMC's, I like the 68 to 70 chrome grille, but staying true to my 68 upbringing I do prefer the slanted 68 hood. How is that for a political answer? ![]() I guess it is like a wise old man once told me, you pick out HER best attribute and enjoy it. I take the same approach with the other ladies in my life - the 67-72 Chevy/GMC pickups!

Re: What is your favorite year truck???
Man, I want one of each. But I have to say I'm a bit partial to the 1970 inner/outer grille combo.

Re: What is your favorite year truck???
I am partial to the 67 because of the slope nose, split grille and no side marker lights. The lack of side markers is kind of a statement, "Stick it to da man" since we legally have to have them now.

Re: What is your favorite year truck???
Since the 71-72 seem to be lagging, I will try to give them a boost.
