Isn't 71 the regular DSO for the LA sales district?
Funny thing about those 70s-80s ch*v fenders, they don't translate to other makes near as well as the 50s fenders did

If that steel grill has a smooth horizontal center bar, it's a '68; if it's got the groove stamped in it, it'll be a '69 grill. Either way, not original to your truck...
