For the interior dash plaque its not out of the realm of possibilities that the original dealer installed as part of the prep. If it was missing from the factory or damaged somehow they may have simply went to their stock and installed what was there. Not sure how you would look at this then. The car should have had a 69 version but eneded up being delivered to the OO with a 68 version.
Without being there yourself when the OO picked it up, you may never know for sure. memories get real fuzzy on this detail stuff after 50 years!

In that case if it could be somehow authenticated I would likely restore it how it SHOULD be not how it was. If I hear from other COPO owners that have the 68 then I will leave it. However, as so many of them have been previously restored that may not be the answer either.

Heard from another 69 SS396 owner and states the same as you Sam, 15/16".

I'll confirm what Sam has said about the wheel cylinders. I pulled these original cylinders from my '69 Chevelle, KK 4.10 axle and they are 15/16.

Maybe that 3/16" rear brake hose is somewhat standard too. I just have not laid hands on enough 69's to know.

I have seen them on "early" 69 chevelle SS cars like the black chevelle Ryan has described in an earlier post. Not sure about COPO's or Yenko's.

Unfortunately I intended to delete the first post only in the thread because it was a duplicate. What happened (due to a bug/issue) it deleted the whole thread! I was able to restore the thread, but inexplicably the pictures were lost. I've been in contact with web developer and he hasn't been able to find a way to retrieve. Very unfortunate because a lot of work by Rick went into this thread....

Oh no, bummer.....this will be a lot of extra work for Rick....to re-insert all the missing pictures.
Steve, I feel your pain.....as a Moderator I have unfortunately made the same mistake.....now my approach is, if it is not broke....don’t fix it. Dan
