I was at the Sun-Drop bottler in Shawano, WI yesterday and I spotted an old delivery truck when I was leaving.  It is from Celo Bottling in Sauk City, WI.  Celo's owner passed away this past winter, so the plant is closed.  It looks like it needs a little body work, but still is a neat looking vehicle.
What year do you think it is?

I'm thinking more mid to late  70's, the front grill resembles  a friend of mine's 74 Chevy pickup, and I don't believe  they started added reflectors in the front fenders  until the last few years

I was thinking the same thing until I saw the gas tank location.. I don't think they did that in the late 70's...

I think they started the side lights in 1968.  It looks like a 68 or 69 to me.  Cool old truck though !!!!

That ones seen some duty, looks like it wasn't retired until recently based on the weight placard being displayed. Late 60's.
