And maybe this book would work for you?

:iagree:

I have this book and it's a great and informative read.  However, one thing this author can't emphasize enough is "taking pictures during the break down" so you have documentation of all the parts and where they go.  Well, I also bought my car as a shell that came with boxes of parts so we can't rely on that. 

My suggestion is keep doing what you'r doing with posting pics and asking what the pieces are.  Also, go through your boxes a few times to become familiar with what the parts look like.  That way, when you're researching online, you will start to come across these pieces and will learn what they are and where they go.  One thing I did was put in the year/make/model in ebaymotors parts section and scrolled through the inventory to see if I recognized any of the parts. 

I hope this helps, and good luck.

I have a question about the battery tray brackets underneath the tray. I have only one on my car and it is straight, no "offset" in it like the two in the pic.(bottom) Are the ones in the pic the original ones or did some '69 Chargers had straight brackets?

Mine look original (old) and their the same as in the pic....(68 Charger)
My 69 has new ones look the same what I can see.

Also, I found a couple parts that I don't know where they go? Any idea what these are?
Thanks for the help!

That spare tire bracket is not one I've ever seen in a 2nd gen charger.  Bottom looks close, but the top is way off. 
These are re-popped, so no worries.

Talking about battery tray bracket!!
Other ones I don't know.

Correct.
They clip to the top and inside of the regulator support structure on either side of the back seat.
