The pics I have attached are from an old thread, and it appears they painted the 'bow' above the windshield white as well. Does anyone have any pics to confirm or deny this? Really want to keep with the original idea.

Kyle -- Your blue GMC truck is a '68.
A] '68 grille, with letters on the hood, not a white faced grille with central letters.
B] Panoramic rear window [special order on '67s, but standard on '68s.]
C] Side Marker Reflectors. Required by Federal regulations in Model Year 1968. '67s don't have them.

Question: When you pull out the Headlight Switch, do the Parking Lights come on with the first notch, then go out when the knob is fully pulled but the Headlights stay on? If Yes, it's a '67.
If the Parking lights stay on and become Running lights along with the headlamps, then it's a '68.

Sorry to interrupt. My '67 Suburban and '68 Stepside are one color, so I'm no authority on two-tone color schemes.

Here are pics of my '67. Never touched or molested. 42,000 miles on it... It was a PA farm truck so it has some bumps and bruises.

Not trying to hijack this 2-tone thread. My 67 is parking lights on first notch, headlights without parking lights on second notch.
