72 vs. 69

Can someone tell me the difference between a 72 burb and a 69?? I'm thinking the 72 will have pb but is there something else?
Thanks,
Joe

Re: 72 vs. 69

Either could have power brakes. From the factory differences:
72 had front disc brakes
72 has the egg crate grille
72 has front blinkers in bumper vs blinkers in grille in 69
72 has plastic door panels, with 72 only window regulator
72 has screw in door below vent window to hold door halves together better
72 has throttle cable vs throttle rod in 69

I am sure there are a few other changes too.

Factory A/C (front and rear) was available in 1972.

I'm not sure if '69 had roof mounted A/C yet. Dealer installed underdash A/C was available.

I believe the 72's will have the emissions evap canister and associated hoses. It also could have disc brakes.
