Seems to me that the pattern is 67-69 are 6 piece (white and chrome) and 70-72 (white and chrome) are 4 piece. , you should add this to your website

68 ranger F150 - 4 piece chrome
69 custom F150 - 4 piece chrome

Will check the other 68 this weekend...

probably came down to which supplier they were buying from at the time. Side note: I have never seen a 6 piece - the ones I've seen on ebay and in person have all been 4 piece. But then, I haven't seen it all yet.....

I've never noticed the difference either. What makes up a 6-piece ie where are the break points?

Barry, the backside of the cab has an L bracket where the side and rear meet up. The 4 pieces have the L's built in instead of a seperate piece. Both kinds have the same fronts.

Ceet's right, Barry. The early ones (pre 70) did have the six piece set. The trim sets are easily interchanged for all years. Whatever's in a cab now would seem to be dependent on what the restorer/owner had in good condition on hand.

Change mine to a 6-piece.
