I bought this car, my first 69 and it is a project w/35K original miles. Engine is gone, transmission is gone, I do not know about the rear differential yet. It is an X44, automatic 6cyl w/ console, it has multi-leaf springs and it has the passenger grab bar, I am not sure if that denotes a deluxe interior or not. Why would you have ordered a 6 cyl car with multi-leaf springs?

I have used this in the past, not sure how accurate it is.

Well that came straight from CRG:
"In 1969, all models with 12-bolt axles received multi-leaf springs and all models with 350ci engines (10- or 12-bolt) received multi-leaf springs. Vehicles with 307 and 327 engines received mono-leaf springs."
So the spring usage tables could override the above statement? I stand corrected!

), What are the axle application and casting date codes ?

I presume it has multi-leaf perches ?

No, the spring tables support what is written on CRG. See my post yesterday.
Kurt, forgive me if I am being slow on the uptake, but if the default rear end for all 350ci-equipped models (with 10- or 12-bolt rears) was a multi-leaf, how could the additional weight of added options change this to be a mono-leaf? Or are you referring to a 6-cylinder car starting out with mono-leaf rear, and weight of options causing this to become a multi-leaf?
Well, didn't get the casting date, but as far as I can tell, it looks like it is original to your 10E car.
Got a pic of the spring perches ?
hmm, looks like there's too many leafs there. Bottom plate is cupped and doesn't lay flat against the perch ?
Bummer, you had to delete the previous pics. For the record, axle stamp is C BP1023C4.

I have a basic account so I can't have images posted all over. I'll put them in my 69 Project Album. I am undecided on what to do with it. I bought it because the body was so good. It will be a nice straight clean base 69 by July.

Those are mono perches on the rear end and I 'm pretty sure mono shock plates as well.

you are correct, this was an original mono leaf car / rear end
