Who can tell me why I am posting this picture?
 This was in a shipping magazine I get at work. I'd say you'll win a prize if you guess, but I'd be lying

Re: Who can tell me why I am posting this picture?
Long bed 70 model standard equipment, no tach in the dash and the wheels aren't correct for it to be a annversary model!
 The surburban behind it has a bad day at the paint shop for sure but I see no Blazer in sight!

Re: Who can tell me why I am posting this picture?
Pretty sure it's ochre, and my guess was '68 but you guys pretty much nailed it
I just got a good laugh out of the fact that I'm reading a shipping magazine and the first thing I pic up on the page is that truck! And I definitely would be seriously concerned about weather-exposed shipping like that.

Re: Who can tell me why I am posting this picture?
The trim looks like the 69-72 style to me. Also no white at the bottom so not likely it's a 50th.

Re: Who can tell me why I am posting this picture?
hmmm... 71swb4x4 is right. I would say it's a 69-70. Looks like there's a solid bar on the front grill, and with white painted wheels, probably a custom with the white top and ochre bottom.

Re: Who can tell me why I am posting this picture?
That was the first thing I spotted too. I agree with the 69 or 70 ochre with white top and a white cap on the bed. Really cool pic!
