A non square wheel well 67?

So reading g lots of threads this weekend on shortening,

Saw pics of 67 besides with the square wheel well opening.

Looking at the utility trailer just disassembled.

No marker lights but round wheel well?

Only in Canada eh!

The rearend gears are dated 72?

All original paint

Didn't all '67s have rounded wheel well openings, and no side markers? Never saw any '67-'72 with a square opening unless modified or more likely, bed changed out.

A lot of stuff can be changed over 4 or 5 decades, including rear axles.

Re: A non square wheel well 67?

Looks like I helped get this confusion started. Here are two comparison trucks, a long and a short fleet bed. I outlined the "squared off portion" and it is suttle , but different.

Re: A non square wheel well 67?

From what I understand all short beds 68-72 have the same wheel well opening which is different than long beds 68-72. And all 67's long and short have the same wheel well opening as the 68 through 72 short beds only.

1. I am never too old to learn something.

2. You guys have a much better eye for detail than I do!

Yes, and not only that, Blazers and 'Burbs have the "square" shape as well. Why GM went round on the 68-72 longbeds (to include the Lognhorn) only is a mystery...

Re: A non square wheel well 67?

At least from the pictures you posted with the damage present, I'm not seeing the rounded corners on those '67 sides. I'll agree that there is no distinct square corner there, but it looks to me like the damage is the cause of that.

Re: A non square wheel well 67?

On the one decent 1967 bedside, I see the "square" corner like a 67 longbed is supposed to have, so nothing earth shattering, or uniquely Canadian there...
