How to tell year

[BowTieMan]

I posted this on the parts board on accident. How can I tell what year a 67-72 is by looking at it? I know the grills are different but could somebody explain or post some pictures of what grills were for what years?

This is a 67-68 style grill. A 67 will not have side marker lights in the fenders, but a 68 does. That is the difference between the two years.

This is a 69-70 grill. I don't know of any differences between the two years here other than the VIN#...

Maybe somebody could help me out on this one...

Here is a 71-72 style grill. A difference between a 71 and 72 is that in 72, the in-cab mirror is glued to the windshield, where as in the 71, it is screwed into the roof of the cab just like in the previous year trucks.

Both 71-72 had the turn signals in the front bumper.

69-70 turn signals were centered with the headlights in the grill (as seen with the prev. post)

67-68 turn signals are located toward the lower part of the grill (as can be seen in the first picture)

Hope this helps ya out.

67's have small back windows, with no side marker lights, large back windows could be ordered but are very rear. the grille is usually body colour or white with two horizontal slits with trim surrounding the holes.

69-70 chev trucks have a one piece aluminum grille with the word "chevrolet across it. The way to tell differences between 69 and 70 is that the insert on a 69 is a solid chacoal colour tooth to it, but the 70 grille has vertical split in the teeth every 4 inches. Another difference is the door panels on deluxe models on 70 trucks have a wood grain panel on top.
71 and 72s have an aluminum grille surround with a plastic mesh insert. 71 is the first year for five lug wheels and disc brakes. 72 chevys have the rear view mirror glued to the windshield and one piece plastic door panels as a opposed to the 71 chev having the rear view mirror attached to the roof and the same door panels as the 70 chev

Also the 67-68 have a choke knob on the dash and hand operated e- brake
72 chevys have vents in the doors for cabin pressure relief and the 71-72 also have the park lights in the bumper

I'm glad that this question was asked. I've been wondering the same thing.

67/68 trucks can be difficult to determine.The sidemarkers can sometimes be filled.Also the bright trim around the grille vents was offered as a later in the year option on 67 but was stock for 68.I beleive WES has a guide on his website also.
