After looking at the vin plate and running it through the vin decoder for GMC it looks like I have number 100 off the assembly line the first year they made these.
I am not sure which way I will go with this truck but it is screaming at me to do a full restoration. It is just to cool to have such an original truck that only needs a few things to get it back to original equipment. It is kind of guess work since many of the 67 GMC did not have a SPID in glove box.
Here are the things I think I would need to get it back to original equipment:
-used front fender
-V6 motor
-different mirrors which I have I think
-6 lug steel rims / not sure if they had split rims or not
-not sure if the selecto hubs are original or not
Pict1 - GMC vin decoder
Pict2 - the vin plate
Pict3 - like it was when I bought it
Vin is KM1590DZC1100A

So - a question. Mine is 71 fenderside 4x4 GMC Canadian made - VIN KS104-11 20539. Which is odd because in 71 in the US they started with the 10. I'd be surprised if 569 of these were made in Canada that year, but maybe?
