I'm sure someone with more expertise than I will chime in soon....
but for what it's worth in the meanwhile,
On my Broadcast Sheet, it indicates my '69 Charger R/T W/440 Engine came with 781(left) and 780(right) Torsion Bars, and 790(left) and 789(right) Rear Leaf springs.
I am not sure if the '68 R/T's were the same or Not ?

780/781 were the "Hemi" bars with brown stripe. 69-70 R/T's would have them regardless if it was a 440 or Hemi. Not sure on '68's....never had one but I am fairly sure they should have the 780/781. I don't have my reference info with me.....maybe someone with a 68 can chime in.

Have you thrown a wrench on them to see what size they are?  The 440/Hemi cars came with bigger bars, 15/16 I think.

That is correct. And I recall correctly, the # of leaf springs should be 6 on the left & 7 on the right.

The ends of the torsion bars are all the same size but the center of the bars are different thicknesses.

Well......this is what the end of my T-bars say.

'68 R/t with what I think are the original bars.

Look at the other end, part numbers are there. Those are date #'s I think. Mine had similar part number on one end and L R and date codes on other

Mmmm....I thought that might be the case.   Thanks!   

[birdsandbees]

I think those are 46th and 52nd week of 1967

Neat.   That would make sense....my car was built first week of Feb '68.

(OP...sorry for dragging this a little off topic.   )

[birdsandbees]

Can't look at mine.. they're at the resto shop for blast, prime and dip.

[BLK 68 R/T]

The ones that came out of my 68 r/t are 780 and 781
