Here is what I looked up. Forget the 67's they are different. 68 and 69 have different part numbers but may work. They are different in appearance. The 69 has a rounded off ends located where the pin goes through and the 68 is more squared off.

The 68 part number calls for 68 Camaro only while the 69 part number calls for 69 Camaro and 68-74 Nova.

I know there is something else but I can't remember right now. When you place the 2 hinges together they look the same but the physical appearance will be obvious.

Confusing huh?

The hinges have stamped numbers on the two pieces. I have some information on them at home and I'll look for it tonight. I'm a CRG member and maybe we need to put together an article on the hinges.

OK, the most difficult part of this job is done, I have found the hinges and it looks like I have more than a complete set, some of them have part number tags still on them. I also found a bunch of other stuff that I forgot I had. If I have time later I will try to take a picture and then see if I can remember how to post it

Gets more interesting.....thanks for the leg work...i cannot visualise the difference mentioned, maybe the pics would be help. Is this an item looked at on a 1000 point judging??

Here are my notes:
68 LH door, upper: stamped 2699L and 2700C
68 LH door, lower: stamped 2703L and 2705L, spring bkt 2663

68 RH door, upper: stamped 2698R and 2700C
68 RH door, lower: stamped 2702R and 2704R, spring bkt 2663

69 LH door, upper: stamped 2699L and 2701C
69 LH door, lower: stamped 2703L and 2707L, spring bkt 2663

That's all I have, hope it helps.

Ed, I will try to get a picture or two posted on Saturday. I was planning on doing it this evening but it just never happened.
