I bought this 67 and verified it with the VIN code but the grille is not correct..Is it a 68? and do you think it has been painted..Did GM offer painted grilles..I might go back with white..
also Is there someplace showing what suppose to be on the trk by the vin code
Thanks!

Re: 68 White Grille??

your grill is a 71-72 type. 67 is a one year only with gmc stamped in the center. you could get them chrome or painted. here`s a picture of a 67.

..yep, that is nice..but that's not a 67 is it? I've looked in LMC; Summit; Paul's and don't find the painted grilles..Where can I find a 67 with "GMC" in black? PAINTED WHITE

Re: 68 White Grille??

Your truck looks to be a 67 with a newer grill in it. Looks like white overspray on the lens even.
