1969 F40 F41

Rob,
Can you post a pic of that build sheet and did your F41 have the rear sway bar? Also, wasn't F41 availability based on production dates?

I'll try and grab it tomorrow, Stef...

Ok, I *finally* dug up the buildsheet on my old F41 L78 Chevelle...I had 2 partials, but this is the only copy I can find, for now...anyway, it shows the F41 in box 107 (rpo's). Car was beautiful...Cortez silver with blue vinyl top, blue guts, L78/auto/4.10, 35k miles...sold out of Hasay Chevrolet out of Shickshinny, PA. Anyway, enough of my crying, looks like the F40/F41 difference is gonna be determined by Boxes 13 & 14 (FRT SPRING and REAR SPRING)...my F41 front spring appears to be "GB or G8".

Ok, found the better copy...too bad it *just misses* the rear spring box...

betcha it was a "G" factory made Chevelle.

I tend to agree with Rob. I have an SS L35 April 4th week with F40 original suspension. Talking with Dan V., I thought the F41 would have only been available on later production cars but not sure when. I betcha there are a lot more on the road claiming the F41 then were built.

The F41 rear control arms and bar are such an easy switch that you are probably right about a lot of extras out there. I added them to our '72 Lemans Sport and also to our '69 el Camino. Someone had add the rear setup to our '69 SS396 before we got it and I added the bar to our COPO car as well away back in the day. That's four cars done by one person.
