Can anybody tell me how to tell the difference between 67 and 68-72 vent windows? I found a nice pair for sale today, but don't know whether thy will fit my 71 truck.

Thanks

They will fit, but if you look at the window where the latch is. On a 67 the latch pivot doesn't go through the window, just mounts to the frame. 68-72 the latch pivot goes through the window.

Yep, the latch on the '67 is the same as the '66's. New vent wing latches in '68. Should bolt up the same, though.
