1968 Side Louver Trim Option - Confirmation

[Rob]

I just want to confirm with 1968 owners - the chrome side louver trim option was a 1969 model year ONLY option and NOT available on the 1968. Correct?

The reason I ask is that I see a lot of '68s sold with the "side louver trim option", but I believe, and according to the Black Book, this was only an option on the 1969 model year?

You are correct, but it's pretty easy for an owner to add these to a 68 or a 69. As far as I know the gills on both years are identical. JD

That is affirmative, side louver trim was not an option on 68's...

A very common add on to help decorate '68's. Just like putin' '69 side exhausts on '68's

I agree ,I just sold a used set on ebay and I put in the description that they are 69 only.I thought id get alot of "know it alls" saying but not one.I was impressed.

Yes, I also read that the side pipes where a 69 only option.
