Which Year did they put door jamb vents on the drivers side? Does anyone have a picture of them?

BigDaddyDave · 01-08-2009, 10:51 PM

My 70 didn't have it,but my 71 does.

I have a 71 with the vent.

Longhorn Man · 01-08-2009, 11:05 PM

71 and 72 had them...

Here is the million dollar question. I put a new (71 0r 72) cab on my (69) truck and moved the vin label to the new cab. I just received the rosette rivits to put my vin plate back on. Is there a cop in Kansas smart enough to realize that it is vined as a 69 with an option only available in 71 or 72? which holes does the vin go in, top or bottom?

depends on the cop, but my guess is they wont notice

I don't think no one will notice, but if so, Tell them you added the vent to get better circulation around the smelly gas tank.

Unless you get a cop that is into vehicles, most don't know or care about the differences. It shouldn't be a problem. Oh, and to answer, they go on the top holes.

I agree, I doubt anyone would notice even, probably most who actually know the trucks wouldn't catch it. Well, Longhornman would, but I don't think he is a cop.

What's the vent for? And is it on both sides?

It's only on the driver's side. IIRC, it is a pressure vent, allowing for extra pressure in the cab to be released when the door is closed.

Does it help a lot?

If he does know enough about them, he will probably also know why you did what you did & not say a word.
