Re: '68 cab on a '67?
Can you document this? None of the 77,598 ppl here in 10 years has ever said anything about this, nor any of my dated GM papers or any books or anything... neverr heard of it. A LOT of people ask about converting to the 69 and up style...

Re: '68 cab on a '67?
i dont know why people dont like the 67 68 e brake , my dad once picked me up from school in his 70 with the e brake activated and he never noiced until we got home in my 67 it sticks out to far to not be noticed and it almost makes you take the e brake off before you drive

Re: '68 cab on a '67?
the handle looks like an add on, clunky even. The 69 and up style is out of site, and doesn't look like an afterthought or mess with the clean looks of the dash

Re: '68 cab on a '67?
I will see if I still have any pic's the paper work I saw from the Kansas plant was owned by a old nabor of my grandparents that worked there is the 60's and 70's as a shift superviser. He has passed away but my grandfather might have the papers that shows the counts and build specks I will check and post copies. As for doing change overs it takes either cutting the pedal bracket and modifying it or modifying the fire wall for room. the pedal bracket is about 1/4 inch longer than the space that is available.

Re: '68 cab on a '67?
Could be like Cali that show the original year of sale, so in Cali there are plenty of 68's that have an original purchase date of 1967. My 1970 Buick GS350 had a 1969 date on it.
