Re: What makes you like your year more than the other years?

67's I dont care for the small back window and lack of side markers. I do like the wheel openings on the box because the long box and short box share the same opening. I believe this stopped at 67. Really great side trim too.

68's I like them all.

69 and 70 not a fan of the grill.

71 and 72 what's not to like?

GMC overall not a big fan of the nose. So much chrome and trim. Although I believe a member here has a stepper with no nose trim, just the chrome grill and it looks really great.

Of course all of these years and makes can look great. Some folks have the look all figured out.

And headboard rear view mirror, vinyl door panels with big() arm rests. I do like the 72 outer grille more than 71, but I got one of those

Same as Chevy, '67 has no surround trim, only the grille itself. '68 is same as Chevy, just the real narrow surround trim where it doesn't cover the fender. The tradition of either painted or chrome grille continued through 67/68 on GMCs. '67 white and '68 silver.
