Valuation NADA Inquiry

[robreil]

I stumbled onto the NADA website showing values of our machines. What I found was interesting and intriguing.

I would like to know why this pattern is showing itself as it is?
68/69 has a high value, 67 and 70 a medium value, and a 71/72 a low value.
I would think with the disc brakes on the 71/72 it would be MORE valueable?
Is there an age benchmark that will put the 71/72 in the next category next year and increase the value of those substantually next year?
Is it because Chevy produced more trucks in later years?
Any insight?
