Of the 67-72 trucks what year is your fav?

Just wondering.

I like the 67/68 as I think they have the best looking grill,fenders,hoods.

But I like them all when their done right

I'm a '71/'72 man myself. Like the grille, hood and marker lights in the front bumper.

Partial to the 71-72 look, but like the 69-70's as well if done right.

67-8 No Contest for me. My opinion would be 67-68-71-72-70-69 in that order. Don't get me wrong, I would jump all over a good looking 69, but I am just partial to 67-8's............JB

Ahhh... the age old question!

When I was in high school I had a '67 lwb, but I preferred the look of the '71-'72s. Now, I have a '71, but I really like the look of the '67-'68s.

Maybe I have some other issues...

Don't tell my truck or suburban, but I like the '68 Chevys first, then '72-'71 Chevys. I've had 3 GMC's though, so I must like 'em. I like the 4 headlights

I'd like to try to put a '68 grill on a GMC (fenders are the same, no?) sometime. Probably need a different rad support and other stuff though.

I'd say '67 just because my truck is looking at me right now.

Honestly I like the '69-70 front end a bit more than my '67. Of course my grille's a bit tweaked since my legs hit it, but I digress...

'67 for the lack of marker lights, but don't like the small window...

Oh, and short step. I've owned 6 of these beasts in my life and 4 were short steps.

I have to say that my favorite would be the 68 GMC...followed by the 67 GMC, then 67/68 chevy.
The 71/72 chevy grill IMO is the worst one of the bunch...but like stated earlier, I'd still jump all over one.

Well I have owed a 69 - 67 - now a 71 all short beds and I think the 67 was far a cleaner body style no side markers, small back glass and the front of the 67-8 is just so darn awsome. But I sure love my 71 Super.
