1967 was the last Model Year for the SM420. M.Y. 1968 introduced the SM465. The first K/5s were Chevy Blazers in M.Y. 1969. GMC followed in M.Y 1970 with the Jimmy K/1500. Custom trim level Jimmys [w/ MT] got chrome shift sticks. [Maybe Blazers, too. IDK?]

I have heard some GMC and Canadian-built trucks were equipped with SM420s thru M.Y. 1969.
No Jimmys were built anywhere else but St Louis until M.Y. 1972, when the Flint Mich. plant joined in.

I doubt any K/5 - K/1500 [Blazer/Jimmy] utility trucks ever came with SM420s from Factory.
