Re: what is the difference between 1969 and 1972 sheet metal

The doors are '72. I am sure things have been swapped around. The question is what. If it is a '69 body on a '72 frame the VIN-plate wouldn't have been changed. If it's a '72 cab, as well, that would explain it. Are there four other rivet holes for a second plate? Look behind to see if they were filled. If it's a '72 cab there won't be other holes and the throttle pedal will be attached to the firewall and hangs there. I don't know which truck is yours, but you should be able to tell paint differences between doors, cab, and rest of truck.
