Ive got a 68 runner, the seats have headrests on them, they arent the football shaped ones with the chrome band, they are a triangular shape...my question is are they original? I have the buld sheet for the car but dont see a headrest code...any help?

Should be a bench seat, headrests are what I'd call rectangular about the size of a brick tipped over on its long side, height-adjustable on 2 posts. Color should match the seat bolster color.
This is spot-on. The chrome-band headrests are not correct.

 Chrome bands on bench seats came in 1970

Since they are optional yes they would be coded on the broadcast sheet.

I'm thinking you might find them here if this is on your '68 broadcast sheet under "HEAD REST" (improper term BTW  ) What do you think John?

That would be a no-brainer for me, safety first, whiplash is very painful from what I'm told. If I had them they'd stay for sure and that's a "rare" option for a '68 and a road runner to boot.

My 68 Road Runner has factory headrest. It is stamped on my broadcast sheet 5 times. They definitely didn't want to forget them.

that look like the ones pictured above. I plan on using the seat and head stoppers....correct or not, because whiplash isn't any fun!
