I have a feeling that 73-80 style ornament will be a better fit on your 69 hood as well. The 73-80 hoods have a wide rib up the center with a flat top (very similar to the rib on the earlier year hoods like your 69). While the 81-up hoods have a more pointed rib (notice how the base of those 81-87(91) ornaments is V-eed up in the center to match).

Were they mounted alone or were they accompanied by a chrome strip down the center of the hood?
They were mounted alone. I don't think any of these trucks ever had a chrome strip down the center of the hood.
