Identify GMC Headlight Doors/ Surrounds

Can anyone explain the difference between the different years ? I found a pair in my shop but can’t remember what they are off. Thanks trying to clean out the shop again.

Those look like 69-72. Only difference is 67 and some 68 doesn't have the indents to adjust the lights.

Yeah, sure. Who cares? He doesn't need new ones -- already got 'em so what they're called doesn't matter. I was just supplying the catalog name.
My Dad had a '73 Lincoln with vacuum actuated headlight covers -- actual doors that flipped up and down. He didn't trust the mechanism, so he fixed them Up with baling wire.

Apparently you care since you corrected the PO. Not everybody on this board is an expert. But I digress.
