This is not a 71 is it?
Guy is listing this truck on CL as a 71. I thought the emblem on a 71 is on the grille. This is what I thought a 69-70 Chevy looked like.
Anybody know different? Thanks, Brian

Re: This is not a 71 is it?
That's what I was about to say, it could be a 71 with a 69 or 70 grill. Check in the glove box or you could write down the VIN, one of the characters in the VIN tells the vehicles year

Re: This is not a 71 is it?
That is a 69-70 grille shell. Nothing to say that it wasn't replaced at some point. To confirm '71 as advertised, is it 5 lug? And, what's the VIN's 6th digit? If it's a 1, then it's a '71., 9 is '69, 0 is '70.

Re: This is not a 71 is it?
thats a 69 judging from the side markers, they are not the lit kind, those came out in 1970.

Re: This is not a 71 is it?
and those side marker lenses may well be the kind that were lit up. They looked exactly like the kind that were not lit.

Re: This is not a 71 is it?
Thanks guys. Just to make sure, The VIN plate is inside the drivers door right? My current project does not have a VIN plate so im not sure where they are located.
Thanks.

Re: This is not a 71 is it?
The front bumper as well as door mirrors aren`t`71.I`m thinking the year if incorrect.
If it`s a`69 the vin-plate with be two seperate plates like earlier trucks.The 70/72s wre the same.
