No ? about it being a GTX. The question was is it possible to have a 440 4 speed with a 22 inch radiator and 3.23 sure grip. We know the rear end is a dana but is not original to the car BOM 1969 dated. Thanks Larry J

No, not as far as I know. If it was a '69 I'd be 100% sure....I'm only 95% sure in your case.

Basically, all "axle package" cars got the 26" rad and all 440-4spd cars got axle packages. Since all GTX's had 440's as the base engine...

I have better info on '69's and '70's but this shows a larger rad for all 440-4spd cars;



To make any better call, we'd need to see pictures of the fender tag but something doesn't sound right. I suppose it's possible that some 1968's were built before the "mandatory axle package (and related 26" rad)" was instituted. Some more research appears to be in order.

Whatever you do, whether it's correct or whether the car was originally an automatic, I wouldn't go cutting out the rad support (with the matching SO numbers to the quarter) unless you determine that the car is a rebody anyway. Otherwise you're going to kill the resale value of the car.
