I have a factory 70 GTX v code 4 speed car that doesn't have torque boxes. It is a fairly early production car but still can't see why it don't have them.

I really doubt a 68 or 69 440-4bll car would have them considering they were not put on the 69 A12's. I see the crusader of fraud beat me to it ...

I have owned about 25 68-70 440 4 barrel,4 speed and automatic cars,none of them had torque boxes. I have had 3 factory six pack/six barrel cars,(a 70 Road Runner 4 speed car,a 70 Charger R/T automatic car and a 69 1/2 A12 Superbee 4 speed) none of them had torque boxes. My friends 69 383 4 speed Dart GTS has them on the rear only. All of my convertibles,both B and E bodies have had them. Most Hemi B bodies have them.

JD, see my post, trust me I have evidence both ways. If the question is "What would have been the norm" the correct answer is Hemis and convertibles only, but what should have been and what actually happened wasn't always a match in the case or torque boxes (and many other parts for that matter).
Scott, no offense but I'd have to see one for myself. I've owned, restored and judged many, many, many 68-69 B-Bodies and never seen them on anything but Hemi and convertible card. Did I say many?

Don't forget the high performance A-body cars, they had them too, mostly 4 speeds and convertibles, but again, there were lots of exceptions.
