1969 charger time capsule on thte way to recovery

[70daytonaclone]

HI All just a note as I look like Spanky from our gang, been working on my girl all weekend and took a vacation day today so I could get something done.(4 days of dodge charger will have to last till next weekend LOL)  Pulled my original gas tank out of my 69 and it still has gas in it maybe a pint. tank is crushed up on bottom but still shiney inside! It had never been out.bought car as a shell with nothing but rear springs and gas tank.was wondering (Now my question) is there any way on earth to tell what rear end this car originally came with? no build sheet,no fender tag. I know it was a tach car It still has the lead coming out firewall and I think it had disc brakes as it has a little brass block about a foot back on rear brake line. (car had no front spindles when I bought it) its non a/c 4 speed 4 barrel 383 car. Wish I could get her dipped and sealed but next time around as I want to go for a ride.Looks like this note turned into a story.Love the web site, thank you so much you great bunch of charger Heads. 70daytonaclone

Are you speaking only of the frame or the pannels.  The trunk lip on the right has or should have the last 6 or 7 digits of the serial number stamped there ( never quite remember)

A 383 4 speed car would have came form the factory with a 8-3/4 rear.

most likely with 3.23's or 3.55's SG, just a guess though.

Noting that it is not a factory A/C car.........

If it has a 26" factory radiator support, it came with either a Peformance Axle Package (3.55 sure-grip) or a High Performance Axle Package (3.91 sure grip).  These Packages came with the Max Cool 26" radiator and were available on 383-4v 4 speed Chargers.

The 3.23 could also of been had with the sure-grip as an option without the above packages, but the radiator support would be 22".
