Thanks LoLife, I thought I had the breaks, down correctly but yours is for sure.

Where I am getting the rest of my information is the change of aligment specs across the generations. I had my last 69 pointed straight and the shop told me they gave me all they could which was less than the desired +5-6 Caster but more than the +1 in the original specs and they shimed the hell out of it. The specs of the later models vary but are around +5, so that is why I believe there is a change.

Might only be in the cross member lower A-Arm mounting point, as you suggest, but I would need someone to verify that as well.

In answer to your other question, The current 69 has 2-1/2" dropped disc brake spindles and just installed 3" drop springs. Rear is 4" drop muli leaf. (I think I put in enough info but always manage to leave something out, Sorry)

Thanks for your input.
