I believe those '67TK' reflectors are actually a one-year-only item for '69, since '67-'68 trucks didn't have rear reflectors. They might have been used on early Econolines, but I can't find a picture of one anywhere to verify that. I did find a pic of a '69 van, but those reflectors are much more square than the truck versions.

Thanks Keith.....I think you're right because mine are definately rectangular and NOT square.Also,the chrome "baseplate" that holds the reflector lens tapers in thickness(thinner at the top-thicker at the bottom rather than being of uniform thickness.

capeclassics: I just checked out your gallery and saw that you indeed have the '69-only version of rear truck reflectors.

Also, it seems you saved Joe's thumbnails to your gallery, but not the full-sized versions. I'd delete those thumbnails and upload the full-size pics, so we can admire that beauty! :D
