A couple of questions. 1968 Malibu's have the long hockey stick fender extension trim molding. The 300 Deluxe and the SS have a short piece, are they the same piece for these models? Also, the 1969 looks very similiar, are they the same as 1968's? I know that 1968 and 1969 hockey sticks are slightly different.

The 68 SS's are the same as a Malibu (long). Any 68 SS that has short ones is just going for the same effect as a 69. 68 SS moldings goes from the headlight bezel to the rear bumper (5 pieces per side), while the Malibu stops at the rear wheel( 4 pieces per side).

The difference between any eyebrow molding on a 68 vs. 69 is that the top of the eyebrow on a 68 lines up with the top of the grill, while 69's line up with the molding on the lower edge of the header panel.
