Location of parking brake firewall hole is different for 69-72 from 67-68.

The wiring harness/fuse block is also different for the same reason.

seen a couple threads like this , no one mentions the front windshield surround is different on 67-68 , 69 up is missing the 'indent' at the top where the rubber sits.

But, I think the original question was about differences between GMC and Chevy cabs. Aside from badging, it doesn't matter. VIN's will differentiate whether it is a GMC or a Chevy, but not the sheet metal on the cab. Trim items and options were available, regardless of brand.

There are drivetrain differences and suspensions that differ, but aside from the 305 V-6 in the early GMC's, which Chevy didn't get, there is very little. But, sheet metal is the same as far as the cab (and doors) are concerned.
