Don't you mean 67-72? The model started in 67. Or is there a reason to leave out 67? As a 67 owner I'm curious.


I liked my '67 bettern than I do my current '68. I had the doors without the pop-up locks where you just pushed the handle down to lock the doors.
Something about that just really grew on me. I wanted to put the '67 doors on my '68 but it just wasn't going to work. I could cry all day about that one...

**************
door is smashed, under the vent window on the cab is smashed and part of the bed close to the cab is also smashed. Is it wise to have the repair guys replace the whole cab instead of fixing it? and does anybody know **************

A guy I see every day was rear-ended in his '94 Ch*vy and it actually pushed the bed into the cab and messed up the back of the cab pretty good. To replace the bumper, the rear half of the exhaust, straighten the frame, weld a repair on the frame, and fix the back of the cab was going to be about $8000. He opted to do all of the work except fix the cab-he just had it repainted to cover where the paint had cracked. It sounds like you're a little worse of, but if the door will still seal and the inside of the cab is OK (no panels popping off) then I'd just repair the cab. Or start fresh.

Just my $.02.

Checked tire pressure lately? Are there any unusual wear patterns on the tires? Such as a rounded edge on the inside or outside, scraping or wiping across the tire? Check the front and rear tires.

Does the problem increase/stay same when you apply the brakes?

If the dealer does an alignment make sure they align to the rear thrust angle on the truck.
