Can someone post a pic of original 1968 Charger trunk hinge pivot areas?

Here's a pic of an early '69 Charger 500 hinge that used a torsion bar spring bracket with the hole. (same as other '69 Chargers)

Appears that later built Daytonas and 1970 Chargers do not have the hole.

Just wondering if they were there in 1968 and carried over to early 69.
Thanks.  :cheers:

Thanks for the answer guys! :cheers:

Charger-Bodie: Be interesting to see an early 68!   Something built in July-August '67.
I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that?

Thanks to Mytur Binsdirti for the early 68 pics.
Note the extra welds in addition to the spot welds like the later 68 cars.
Apparently, spot welds were good enough and the other welds dropped.
