1967 Only or 60-66 Carry Over?

My passenger visor mount hole looks like it was made with a drill and an air hammer. Clearly added after the fact. I have heard of other 67s only having a visor on the driver side.

[midniteblues]

I'm not sure on the visor clip
the pass visor mustve been a option cause both my low option 67's have the dimples where they would be but no cutouts.
my fleet has a driver arm rest but its a later style an I'm sure it was put on some time ago

both my trucks have the same rearveiw mirror arm but the mirrors themselves are differnt
my step has a chromed back mirror with a square flip up down lever.
the lever on my fleet is a little differnt its square but the lever flips side to side,but it couldve been changed too.

frame narrowed out on 68 up to make room for the newly added big block in 68. firewall is shapped different by the bottom of the firewall on 67's as well. in 68 they changed the firewall to make room for the 396 addition. the air vent pull knobs are 67 only. the way the jack handle mounts under the seat i believe is 67 only but may be that way on some 68's.

[67c10rustbuket]

Ahhhh big block, makes sense. Good info!

What about the one year gas pedal??? I heard that it was a one year piece but my truck did not have one (the plastic pedal piece). Is this a bigfoot legend or real? You guys know?

[67c10rustbuket]

My steel door panels do NOT have holes for the arm rests either. Just a pretty basic truck, no fancy stuff.

I had no idea on the speedo hash marks either, man I better check that one out. Never heard that one before.

[67c10rustbuket]

My seat belts were horridly stained as they were stuffed in the rusty cab corners. So being an idiot after several attempts to clean them I threw them in the trash.

[BMERDOC]

I pressure washed my belts and I was amazed at the dirt that rolled out! They are still mildly stained but they are very clean and very nice and subtle. I neatly packed them away and will work a little harder on them later.

[chewychevy67]

bullseye lenses were used on 67-70 trucks so not a 67 only thing. the high beam indicators in the speedos were rectangle in the early model years and round in the later years. not sure when the switch occurred. 67 shoulders are hard to find as they mount to the floor with different hardware than 68-72 trucks and are aircraft style buckles and male tongues are shaped different and the dimple on the retainer boots are verticle and the later years the dimple is horizontle. not sure if the verticle dimple is 67 only but the 67 buckles wont fit properly in the boots with horizontle dimples.

[midniteblues]

YOU THREW THEM AWAY omg!

I wasnt real sure about the bullseye lenses I find very few of the other lenses any more.

I recently got a opertunity to see a bunch of clusters and parts and I saw that the rectangle high beam holes are located differntly in the hash marks maybe the differance was between 67-68 and the 69-70 but there is two differnt locations for them.

linky this is all you need to know.

[special-K]

Actually,bullseye reverse lenses were on most trucks.Only 71/72 had the waffle pattern.

I am doing the same thing with my '67 GMC project. It's a mild custom that I'm assembling from all my various parts to resemble a '67. Although "using what I have" was supposed to be the pan,I have been buying '67 cues as time has gone by for more '67 vibe. But,because it's a mild custom,I'm not worrying about every little nit pickin' '67-only detail. It started with a '67 GMC grille and Super Custom fenders. I bought an excellent pair of tinted/chrome vent window assemblies and,although I already had a pair of doors primed and mounted,I bought a pair of doors off a '67 GMC with the right trim holes. I have buddy buckets,but will do period correct custom upholstery on those and the door panels. I have '67 seat belts,but also very nice '68-ups that I may use instead (I have my reasons). I have the '67 door handles,which were also used on cars. I just did find and buy a 67/68 tailgate. I was either going to use a large letter or do a custom idea I've wanted to do. The idea with mine is to have a truck that could have been back in the late-60s/early-70s. People fixed them up back then,too,and one thing they did was swap parts around. The main thing is not have anything on it that was made or done after '72.

What is the difference in tailgates?

THANKS RICK!... I looked for this thread last night for a L-O-N-G time. Too old n' dum to find it I guess. There's also an interesting article about the styling on the '67 small back window cab written by one of the GM design guys... can't find it either.... or sometimes my glasses, tools, nuts, bolts, screws, keys, drink, ATM card, wife in the grocery store....

this is exactly what im trying to achieve. i just added power windows from a 66 buick i had. I always thought if they were available in cars they should have been available in trucks.

One other 67 only thing is on GMCès there is no dimples on the headlight bezel to adjust hte headlights. you have to take the bezel off to adjust them in 67 and 68-72 have dimples to adjust them with the bezels on the truck.

[special-K]

Good one. Yep,you have to remove the bezels on the '67s. Did you mention the '67 GMC front bumper,yet? They are straight and the same as Chevy. 68-72 is scooped out under the turn signals. No '67 GMCs got the surround trim up front.

[southern parts]

i didn`t think any 67, gmc or chevy got hood or eyebrow trim.

[midniteblues]

It sure would be cool to put all the 67 stuff in a nice list and put it in the faq. the link from the older thread is great who knew there were so many lil' differances.

[southern parts]

how bout the straight (unbent) shift lever and the extra hole in the column by the flasher knob.

Thanks for the link. I didn't think that I could possibly be the first to discuss this topic.

I agree with you. I don't plan on being too nit-picky either. My truck is a pretty Base truck but in making descisions on what route I take when I do certain things I want to take the fact that it is a 67 into account and Maaayybe follow that route. I think I will delete the grill Bowtie, hood letters and lock cylinders. I wanna add the Spahgetti Engineering Digi-tail LED tail lamps and some other modern ammenities. I know I'll have to dimple the frame and now I know I'll have to trim the rails if I wanna add a big block. I will also be relocating the tank. Its stuff like the correct year cluster (even if its a 7 hole from a bigger truck), bulls eye reverse lenses, single visor, vent wings, inner handles, black heater controls and so on that I really like and want to keep or add to my truck.

If you guys can include pics with some of this stuff it would be great. We all like pics. I've gotta go out and see how true my truck is (vents and ashtray you get the idea) and dig through the old parts to see if I have any more of the OG stuff laying around.

[67chevy1series]

i like all of these trucks, BUT having said that i give 67's more respect since they are bacically a one off truck. granted im a freak and learned every single difference, but 67's are so unique that just by a few key parts you cn tell right away what truck your looking at, is it a 68 with no markers? or is it a true Panoramic cab 67. and it just seems to be a little more thought and inginuity in 67's they took more time and payed attention to detail. i mean look at the knobs putting all the ridges on the edges. then lift a 67 tailgate and then go lift a tailgate from a 72.... theres a nice difference in weight.

[Chvy2NV]

Just picked up my 67 a few days ago. Seems to be pretty clean and equipped with a lot of the original 67 parts. I'm relatively new to C10's so it's kinda hard to know what im looking at. Pics would definetly help a lot. I also plan to keep that original 67 look along with some resto mods.

I just took some pics of of my trucks details. I'm talking to my buddy on the phone so when I get off with him I'll email them to myself and post them.

[BMERDOC]

Here are some pics of mine. Because the passenger vent handle is correct I think the glass is correct. The driver's vent should be from a later truck. It probably got broke into at one time or something else went wrong. The ashtray is correct and I KNOW the cig. lighter is incorrect. It has the correct door pulls but I dont know if the window cranks are correct, they do match. When I too ka pic of the GB door I realized that the correct texture is on it it just does't have the Argent Silver trim. I had an error mesage for the email of my gate and seat so I'm gonna try and resend them. The bench is the correct base spring seat and the gate is a later one. A complete dead giveaway is that it has the Disc brake sticker on it.

[Chvy2NV]

what pics would you like so i can go into garage and snap a few.. i think the PO did replace a few handles and the small window locks

[BMERDOC]

Snap pics of what you think is correct and what has been changed. Explain the differences. Thanks for taking the time. A well documented thread would be a great thing to have for future reference!
