what year truck is the favorite?
anyone seen any surveys or reviews as to which year chevy truck is the most popular? 67-72 range. I would take anything in this range and they are all really very much identical, just was curious.

I like 1968 the best because of the front clip. Never cared much for the small window on the 67's.

I like 69-72, I don't like the hood design as much on the 67 and 68's.

I like the 68 year model also because of the grills.

'67 with a Panoramic view window is without a doubt the best, so no one else needs to respond to this post, I got you all covered!
 Oddly enough that is what I have, gotta love the front clips. I kind of like the small back windows, but alas, I don't have one.

67's with big back windows and 68's are my favorite. the hoods on 69-72 are too steep in the front for me, and 69-70 i do not care for the grills. put a 67-68 hood on a 71-72, that wouldnt be too shabby

Don't believe there is much doubt that the '67/'68 years were the most attractive. It would have been nice if they had put disc brakes on a couple of years sooner.
If you'll think back, the first years of a any new body design is always the best looking--and then they start trying to "improve" it.  A case in point, the '67 Camaro was by far the best looking of the 1st generation--same for our trucks.

I'd say 67/68 for a 2WD - the hood and grill make for a sleek look when lowered
71/72 for 4WD - the blocky front end gives it a more rough and rugged look

I'm also a fan of the big back window and 67-68 grill, but 67 is my fav because of the clean sides, no side markers. I'm probably just partial to this because that's what mine is. No doubt though, I would gladly take any of the years because they all look good to me.

For the Chevy, I got to go with the 70 (What else
)For the GMC, I like them all alot, but I think the 68 GMC is the cleanest.

71 one is nice, don't really like the glue on 72 rear view (not really a big deal) but 69's are good too, but thats just because thats what i have. i have 72 doors with the nicer door panels though, don't really like the plain ones. but who cares its just and opinion :-)

67's and 68's have the cleanest lines.
In a 4X4 I like the looks of the 69's and 70's

I like the 67's for the grill and no marker lights, don't really have a preference on the back window except that the big is easier to see out of (duh). Like the 71-72's too though, cause they have the best standard equipment IMO.
