Project started Saturday - What year is this truck??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

No offense to Slick67, but some info above is wrong. There is no difference between hoods on GMC to Chevy, other than the lettering or emblem and that the GMC has a trim piece that is part of the grill. The only hood difference is 67-68 to the 69-72 style, which do not interchange. There are some differences in the cabs that might help identify the year built. If the gas pedal is the cable style, rather than a rod style it is 71-72, if the rear view mirror mounts to the steel above the windshield it is a 69-71, mounts on the windshield glass it is a 72.

So if it is a rod style throttle, it is 69-70. I really don't think there are any ways to tell the difference between a 69 and 70 cab. The mirror mount is how you tell between a 71 and 72.

Good luck with the build. I'm doing my own junkyard build.

well I appreciate any info on these body styles, because I'm the first to admit that I don't know Jack about them! The mirror does mount to the roof and not the glass, I'll have to check on the throttle linkages. i think it's a cable.

Thanks!

So I just realize this build section is mainly 2wd trucks and there's a seperate 4x section. I'm going to post everything I've done in this thread in that build area, it seems like it fits a bit better overr there. I'll definately be keeping up on the builds, I'm learning so much about the common rust spots and the many body mods to do to these awesome trucks! Thanks for the help!
