Yes, he's got a '68-up lighter in his '67. Closely compare the font in the bezel. See how the '67 lettering is very squared-off, while the lettering in the '68-up has rounded corners on the G and R? Also, the silver button in the front is more pointed on the '67 lighter, and the '68-up knobs are more flat in front.

Well... I'd like a '67 lighter for my truck, but all the replacement ones are "67-72". I don't need the recepticle... just the ligher part.

I almost take offense to that sometimes. I feel like our poor '67s are being classified in grouping they only partially belong. :o :wink:
