Yes I think they offered a tilt in 70.
Any year tilt from a 67-72 will fit right in. I'm not an expert, so just my info on my limited knowledge. |

69 was the first year, and they were the same 69 - 72.

my G.M. parts book lists a tilt in 70. i have only seen factory tilts in 71-72s. if someone has a 70 with a factory installed tilt, i'd really like to see the build sheet and/or option list, just for my own curiousity. since i saw tilt listed in my parts book for the 70 model year i've always wondered if any really did exist. my book is a factory G.M. parts book same as the dealers have, so i trust the information in there is correct. if anyone has a 70 that can document the tilt as being factory installed it would be a rare S.O.B.

 Jerry could you check your book and tell me what year they started putting van tilts in our pickups?
