Re: 69?'s

the69 was a one year only door panel, and there are 2 versions as you've seen. I can't remember which way it goes, but one is early, and one is late. I have one of one style, and one of the other style on mine.
i *THINK* the bow tie is early, and blank is later... but I could be wrong on that... I have a 50/50 chance.

Re: 69?'s

oh, almost forgot the gearing Q...
a 1/2 ton... small block and auto, with no gear listed, should be a 3.07
A 3/4 ton equipped th4e same way, would be a 4.10.
