You may want to reconsider a 69 as none had factory disc brakes up front. You may find a late 70 with discs as they were a factory option that year (They look very similar) as they were in 71, I believe they were standard equipment from 72 on. Also you might bring a clean small magnet with you to look for body filler behind the doors at the front of the Quarter panels and just ahead and behind the rear wheel wells as these spots are prone to rust and so repairs (just be sure to ask permission before checking and make sure not to DRAG the magnet on the paint. GOOD LUCK!!
