unigue to 67'

[Slick67]

They didn't have a dome light switch mounted in the door jamb.

FWIW...here's a one-owner '67 that belongs to a guy I work with.

[too much stuff]

The back up lenses were actually the bullseye style until 71. The taillight trim was also used for 2 years. (67-68) The rear view mirrors were black in 67 (if they had one) and the chrome one pictured was 68 i believe. In addition to the one year only exterior door handles, the interior door handles and the window cranks were for 67 only. I believe the arm rests were 67 and older also. The 67 gmc hood was the only slope nose one with no letters on it either. I think 67 was also the only year with the "GM" tag inside the door.
Good thread.

well certain things you can get from a 60 to 66 but there is alot that you cant so if you cross a 66 witha 68 you get a 67

[basemodel67]

No front fender or front hood trim.

All equipped with manual choke.

That's all I got...

[nds1968]

Black heater controls with separate fan switch mounted below dash. No rubber mounts for the core support. Gauge bezel has a silver painted edge. My ignition key is shaped like an octagon not square. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

[68lwb292]

When did they start the windshield mount rear-view mirror cause my 68's is on the windshield and there is no mounting holes in the ceiling.

[Sammy]

I think this is how the rear view mirrors were. 67 above the windshield like pic above, 68 glued to the windshield, 69-71 mounted above the windshield and 72 glued to the windshield like the 68's. Is that right?

[too much stuff]

72 was the only year mounted to the glass for a rearview.
The black heater controls were indeed 67, but the fan was the center arm. 68 may have used the black face also, but i am no positive on that.
Manual chokes came on all 67 and 68s unless equipped with a 327 or 396 Q-jet.
Keep in mind, rear view mirrors were an option into 69 so if your truck didn't have one there would be no holes in the roof.

[msgross]

my 68 had black heater control face and mirror is on the roof...

[nds1968]

Not sure if its 67 only but I have a deluxe heater fan switch mounted under the dash. Its even on the SPID

[68lwb292]

If the rear-view mirror was an option would it be listed on the SPID if the truck had one?

[oldblue1968chevy]

my 68 has black heater controls..i picked a 67 last week, it had silver controls..lol

[67gmcstepside]

It must have been an option. I have no mirror holes nor is a mirror listed on my SPID.
Never knew you could get such a stripped down truck. No rear view mirror, only drv side sun visor, no arm rests.

[68lwb292]

There were cheaper trucks they were called fords! LoL

[oldblue1968chevy]

ha ha lol ^^

the truck i pictured was 250 3ott arm rests 1 sunvisor no side mirrors lol lwb gmc, pretty plain!

my 68 has the deluxe dual sun visors! and blue trim, thats it lol

On my '67 K/10 Suburban, the 3 exterior door handles are the same as the ones on my '71 GMC and '68 C/10. At least on the outside. Are you talking about the inside attachment? Are they interchangable?
They must be original...
I know the PO would never have spent a dime on fancy parts. Instead of a passenger side hood hinge, he had a hillbilly stick to hold the hood up. Someone once painted the truck with Kool-Kote roofing paint.

That was my first reaction, too. I had to stop a guy wth a '67 stepside and ask him about it, and then check it out his light function, until I believed it. Obviously this was before we had this forum.

[redbaron69]

great thread. im about 100% sure that all 67s were painted a silver looking color on the inside, reguardless of exterior color.

Here is my 67, the interior is a different blue than the exterior color.

[NGN]

Would like to see a small rear window chrome trim package, any idea if they did ? Would look nice. Nick

[too much stuff]

I have never seen the stainless around a small back window.
The door handles on the outside are the same. They attach different inside. The bolts go in at an angle instead of straight.

[redbaron69]

i stand corrected nds1968. there are a few 67 survivors here in town and they all a silver color inside. thanks for the pic/info.
