Any truck detectives here? Hauled home another. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I know a lot of trucks out there have never been "touched" in 50 plus years, but unless you know the history personally, you just don't know.
Posting this for fun just to see how many different years are on this truck and even different makes. I have my opinions on it at this point but lets see what you find to determine make , year and model. Maybe mention one thing and let the next person find something different.

More pics. May have to look close at some of the pics.

And more...

**72gmguy** · 10-03-2021, 08:18 PM

Is that a Chevrolet hood with gmc letters?

**68350** · 10-03-2021, 08:18 PM

Ill toss the first easy one out. 67 2wd 3/4 ton cab

**too much stuff** · 10-03-2021, 08:18 PM

Last ones.
He had a couple of 72 blazer parts i talked him out of also...

**dagnabbitt** · 10-03-2021, 08:19 PM

If we can only pick one thing at a time, it has a 67 door interior; ie vent window handle and armrest.

**geunther** · 10-03-2021, 08:34 PM

Adjustable drag link I think were post 1972? Just going for an obscure one.

**Grumpy old man** · 10-03-2021, 08:48 PM

67 dash .

AdamH. · 10-03-2021, 08:54 PM

71 frame

notsolo · 10-03-2021, 08:55 PM

Drivers side front spring shackle, "72" only think ? has the safety bar keeper thingy.

AdamH. · 10-03-2021, 09:00 PM

That was dealer add-on.

Blue GMC · 10-03-2021, 09:14 PM

Side markers in rear and none in front later before swap?

**HO455** · 10-03-2021, 09:14 PM

Right front fender is 67 with the hood being 69-72. Box is 68 or later. And I'm not sure but isn't that a large letter 70 and later tailgate?
And that 292 looks odd.

She was a stump puller for sure from the factory. (At least the SPID was) 292 with a 4 speed and a posi 4.57 rear end.

No sir, that’s a 72 frame, as indicated by the factory welded drivers front spring strap. I’d bet at least the front axle is probably kin to the frame going by the blue dials and open knuckles/disk brakes. The transmission and transfer case have to be post ‘70, more likely 71-72 going by the 205 shifter, again I’d bet they are kin to the frame.

That truck has had a ton of organ donors over its life

The recall straps look completely different than the factory installed units, notice how it’s spot welded on. The recall units are obviously stick welded when you see them.

jumpsoffrock · 10-03-2021, 11:19 PM

This thing is a "parts truck" whether it likes it or not.

And you guys are GOOD. Amazing detective work.
(If Brian Laundrie was a 67-72 GM truck, this forum woulda found him and figured him out in 30 minutes)

**NGN** · 10-03-2021, 11:41 PM

I thought that may be a 68 dash , it's late and I need sleep.

I thought the 67 dash above the wiper knob said "Wiper" only and the 68 dash said "Wiper/Washer... so I'm with you... and I may also be 180 out and bassackwards with my opinion.

Anyone who knows care to chime in on the dash differences?

I was pointing out the metal dash itself is a 67 , Small ignition 67 only and the small lighter mount with no bezel indent . your right on the gauge cluster , She's definitely a Heinz 57 varieties

72c20customcamper · 10-04-2021, 12:09 PM

Looks to me someone replaced the cab on a 72 with a 67 cab and front clip then reused the 72 hood and the bed

Much later headlight knob too. Or maybe a generic one not sure

Column looks like a car unit late 70s as there is no gear dial and the turn signal knob

1968 K20 · 10-04-2021, 12:42 PM

^^^^ I agree. Looks like a 67 passenger inside door handle and the tailgate has the small logo like a 67-68. Must have been a 67 big window cab?

**Joesjunk** · 10-04-2021, 12:54 PM

That front rally wheel is on backwards lol
