What do you guys think is the best year?

[GASoline71]

Funny as I know this is blasphemy... but I do not like the slant nose style of the '67-'68 rigs. '69-'72 for me on the hood design.

Best year? All of them, of course.

[68bowtie]

it's impossible to choose! although i'm a little partial to 68's.

[WorkinLonghorn]

Any year as long as it isn't missing 2 headlights.

[TurboThrift]

can't beat a 67 if you're considering the smooth lines. Those trucks are wonderful, imo, lightly optioned or not!

I dont like the tapered hoods that much, I like my 72,but I mounted a rearview mirror from a 71 in it, dont like the glue on ones.I like the 69-70 grilles better, but I got a good deal on my 72..I really like the GMC front ends, wish I had one.....

[71threequarterton]

I stick to my first comment about the 67 cab but I think 4x4s look best from 71,72.

[Voodoo556]

Sloped hood and the simple clean grill of the 67-68's seems to give these trucks an older, nostalgic look over the boxy hood and bulkier grills of the '69-'72's.
IMO, for a 2wd truck the short beds look rad and a lifted 4wd looks best in a long bed.

My first truck was a 1969 CST and thought that was the best looking style.

Then I replaced it with a 72 Cheyenne Super 20 and liked that one even better.

Then I bought a 68 K10 and liked that even better!

Then realized I actually like all of them.

What is that?

All one of the best classics IMO. Personally, I'd only prefer a few monster Mopars and Judge on sticks. TA or say a Boss wouldn't be bad either.... Anybody watch Counting Cars? A guy had two Mopars built, a Roadrunner and I think Coronet.......Beautiful. The wife will be driving this. Husband said he might actually get laid, maybe 3-4 times.........Ha! http://www.imcdb.org/i791039.jpg

I've own several of these trucks, and I love them all. But I think the one I liked the best was my 70 GMC. Didn't like the brakes, it was fast but it was tough to slow it down. but I loved the look of it. I only sold it because it had a lot of rust, and my 71 Chevy didn't. One of these days I hope to get another Four Eyes.

For 4wd, I like my 72. most modern incarnation of the truck plus the forward design hood IMHO looks better on 4wd trucks
For 2wd, I like the 68. My dad had a 68 (the truck that started it all for me)so I'm kinda partial to them. If I ever find the one I want it'll be lowered and I find the slant nose makes it look a little sleeker than the later hoods.

[HO455]

MINE!!

[TCLARK]

I have a 67 on a 72 frame, only problem is a blind spot........I can live with it !

[Stephen717]

Probably a 71 for options. But personally I like my 69, my grandfather had one, my dad had one with 4 eyes, and now I'm the third generation​in our family to have the exact same year truck that they grew up with

[Richard]

Partial to 72's because that is what I rode around in growing up. Father had a K10 custom deluxe purchased new. Unfortunately it was totaled in a roll over. My first vehicle was a 72 K20 with a rod sticking out of the block. Put a motor into it in auto shop. Now have my current 72 purchased well over 10 years ago near my home town from the shop school teacher.

[In The Ten Ring]

I grew up in my truck, a 1972. I think the "egg crate" grill is attractive but it is also very fragile.

All things being equal, I would have to say a 1967 is the most attractive all all the years.

agreed!

[Already Gone]

I like the front ends of the 67/68 with 68 getting the nudge because of the fender marker lights but do not like the handbrake lever on the 67/68's. I also prefer the 72 cause it had the disc brakes, the nicest door panels (my opinion ) and the Highlander seat was available. I also love the dark maroon interior color that was unique to the 69 model year.

Overall I think the last year 1972 was the best year.

So give me a a 1972 long box with a 68 front clip and the 72 interior in the dark maroon 69 color.. Of course it would have to be loaded with all available options.

1963
Still has the vintage dogleg windshield, but easy to update the suspension.

Oh, I'm sorry. Were y'all just talking about late models?

[Daves70]

67 all the way. The sloped hood and small back window just make the step side look perfect. But I am biased. I have a 67 short step with a 72 highlander interior.

But all of that being said, Ive seen plenty of all styles (even 69-70, and four eyes haha) in all different modes that break the "mold" that I like most.

My thoughts exactly !!!
Well said CG
