Re: what year truck?
If it has a small back window its got to a '67. The best way to tell otherwise on a Chevy is the 5th digit of the VIN will be a number. That number will be the last digit of the year model. For example:
1967= 7 1968= 8 1969= 9 1970= 0 1971= 1 1972= 2

Re: what year truck?
The small back window. sloped hood, and hand controlled E-Brake lead me to believe that the truck is a '67.
The VIN should begin something like this: CE147XXXXXXX.

Re: what year truck?
While yes, a small back window, hand brake, and sloped hood make it a 67... you can double check it on this VIN decoder right here on 67-72chevytrucks.com
