I apologize I'm brand new to these trucks I have just wanted one for 25 years....
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

There are several things you can do but only the first at this point will confirm the model any further.
First, Is there any factory/dealer paperwork with the truck?
A sales invoice of any sort should have the model number.
Unfortunately a Protect-O-Plate will not give us the model number.
Second, Are the door ID plate rivets correct rosettes and not pop rivets or black in color?
Third, Is the frame number, that may be stamped in two places, on the frame. See Brucemans1968's post above #59
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...8&postcount=59. This won't prove out the model but if the frame number matches the last eight characters of the VIN then it is the original frame.
In any event a close inspection of the frame should disclose any shortening efforts. As will cut down fuel and brake lines.
Hopefully everything is in order.
Finally your truck was built after the first of the year, actually in 1967.
