I the lower valance on a 69 different than a 68? I'm finding that several pices interchange but some are specific. the one I have seems too long for the holes with the fenders to line up. I'm pretty sure we had a 68 front clip on a 69
Any info would help.

I saw that OPGI has different # for the years

If you could get some pictures with a tape measure laying on what you have, I'll go out and measure mine, unless somebody on here has some pictures of that area.

I'll keep checking this throughout the day, fire those babies out, we need to get to the bottom of this 68 69 thing.

OK the first one #32 is overall length about 71 1/2"
second #34 is nut to nut on the flange on the bottom.
The third is #36 that's for the inner hole for the inner fender.

I just sent the bride the pictures in the other room, she will resize and print them out, then I'll go out and get you some measurements, this should work, if not I'll go out and get some pictures, I'll just have to sweet talk her into putting them on.

I like the way the guy on cnn news, today said, that it could take 18 months to figure out why that bridge in Minn. fell down.

If they put some car guys on that investigation, they'ed have it ten ten days. :)

I'm going to plan 2, have to take a couple of bolts out, will get you pictures with measurements, I might as well do it right, I'm sure there are others that will need this, might be talking an hour or four.:)

I think a picture or two of the valance bolted on would be a good thing.

She just plugged the camera into the computer, maybe a half hour give or take. Its cloudy out, so we'll wait and see how they turn out.

Rob, I see some clips that are in front of the headlight bucket area. Mine does'nt have these either. The measurments look close though. they're are marks on one end that look like it slides in a notch in the fender on mine.
Does it need to do that to fit?

It looks like whoever put this on the car did some custum fitting. I think I'm going to order a new one
