67-68 ?
So let's see if I get this right. The 67's only had the grills painted white, and the 68's had the grill and top white. Or is thier any rime or reason. Also is there any diff. in the trim with these years.

Re: 67-68 ?
I thought 68's had the trim on the hood and front of the fenders, but 67's didnt.

I have a 67 with the trim on the hood and fenders . I don't think it was added but I could be wrong . Bob

Re: 67-68 ?
I've only seen factory grilles in white or silver.
Only major difference is the 68 marker reflectors on the fenders, they still didn't have bulbs in them. My 68 had all the trim on the nose and none on the side. I have seen 67 and 68 with "chevrolet" on the hood... not sure what was stock anymore!

Re: 67-68 ?
I'm pretty sure the only differences body wise/paint wise are the side markers and the small back window being only available on the 67's. Other than that I'm pretty sure you could have it how you wanted it.

Re: 67-68 ?
I remember reading somewhere that GM brightened up the grilles of the 68's with white or silver paint, as a safety feature along with the side markers, which became mandatory in 1968.

Re: 67-68 ?
The only differences in the two that I know of is:
1. 68's got the trim around the grill. 2. 68's got the federally mandated side markers front and rear. 3. 68's were not available the a small rear window. ps- all 67's and 68's had chevrolet on the hood. kager

Re: 67-68 ?
Here's a 67 with the chrome and there were a few 68's with small windows. It's a board member's truck and I don't know if he added the chrome or not .
