I'm not sure what your question is, I haven't gotten a full cup of coffee in me yet, but the easiest way to tell if it's original is the date code on the front of the k.
Opps, I should add, all the k's we've (the a12 guys) discussed or photographed have been the same regardless of the vin.

I think I read on here once that M code cars had a k frame with a 69 top with a 70 bottom welded to it, but still used the 69 sway bar. As far as part numbers.......not a clue!  
Here is the K-frame that is found on most of the A12's even the earliest production models. I think even the A12's without the "A12" on the fender tags had this type of K-frame?

Correct. Picture below should explain what is correct for A12 K-frame. That's wierd same pic just got posted as I was replying.....cool.
Wayne, that's my K-frame that I did that text on a few years ago. Here's the top of that same K-frame and you can see the '70 swaybar mounts are not drilled through.

Anyone have part numbers for the '68/'69 K-frames?
Were the 318, 383 (and 440) K-frames the same?

My friend has a June 69 build 383 car , has the exact same K, it's only A12 specific because there was a change made during the production run in preparation for the next model year since the platform was still going to be the same and ALL 69 B bodies that received a V8 engine received that EXACT same K frame.
Different part number for the K used in a 68 vs. the one in a 69 even though everything else that was attached to it was the same ????

John, All V8's including the 318 had the same K-frame in '68/'69 B-bodies????
I had a '69 (Lynch Road) June 26 (626) SPD RR that had the '70 bottom K-frame too. Must have been a late March, Lynch Road change over...... just a guess  ?

Yes thats correct , small block big block same K , the rubber mounts were the same , only the engine brackets are different , trans mount in the same location also .
My friends runner is also a Lynch rd. car , no fender tag .
My 383 bee is a 2/10 SPD Lynch Rd car , it has the 68 style bottom , but it does have the oval fuel filler hole in the rear crossmember .

. BTW has anyone else noticed that on the driver side front of every frame there seems to be a small crimp in the metal. I though it was damage to mine but have seen it consitently on other frames. Any specific reason for this?
