so much misinformation spank

the 1968 model year hi-performance engines & transmissions were STAMPED with the last 8-digits of the VIN - 340 - 440HP - HEMI & Road Runner/Super Bee 383s

NO Chrysler Corp. engines were ever factory stamped with the shipping order number

I do think the welds look fresh enough to be suspect. Engine claimed to be numbers, trans is not.


It also shows the B body 440 having the 22 inch. So could or should can be looked at as either or. That is someones spread sheet. The factory manual shows it but makes no mention of transmission. Unless that radiator was made with the cooler and sold in either application.


the 22" radiator was available (STANDARD) in a b-body with a 440HP & automatic ONLY (without A/C & without an "axle package")

A = Lynch Road built
8 = model year
R = body style (Belvedere)
279740 = Shipping Order #

The location of the radiator support frame should be upside down facing the engine and stamped near the area of the upper radiator hose.

If that number matches the stamped number on the trunk lid stamped on the drivers side under the rubber weather strip then it came with a 22' radiator.

Now if the radiator support or the drivers side fender have been replace....it remains a question

Just my $.02



the top rail of a 22" radiator core support is the same as the top rail of a 26" radiator core support - the location of the stamp varies with assembly plant

I think looking at the options combination you could get a 44, with torqueflight non sure grip rear end, and that would get you the 22" radiator. Its not common, but they pop up every so often. Once you add a four speed to the 375 HP 440 or to the 426 Hemi, you get a performance package option (Trak Pak or Super Trak Pak) and that gets you a 26" radiator.

The opening in the floor pan above does not look stock to me. The four speed opening was stamped. The hump goes over the opening with about 1/2" to 1" of additional coverage over the opening. The hump is stich welded from the inside of the car in about 6 to eight places with about 2" long welds.

All of this is assuming you are talking about 68 and 69 B-bodies.

the GTX isn't a full-size model
the 4-speed manual was NOT available in a C-body with a 440


What mis-information? Never said the GTX was a full size model. I only stated the parts manual showed a 22 inch core part number 2898063 with a full size C-Body cars with a 440 as an example. I also never said there was a 4 speed in a c-body. I reaffirmed what the parts manual said about the B-body with a 440 taking a 22 inch core part number 2949053. So where is the mis-information??

for the '68-'70 GTX, Coronet R/T & Charger R/T - the 440HP engine * 727 automatic transmission * 22" radiator - is the most common built combination

For the record, a 4-speed manual transmission WAS available in a C-body with a 440.

Probably the same in '71. I have had a couple of '71 GTXs with 440/727 and 22" radiators. And open rear ends. Heavy Duty suspensions were standard, but not Sure-Grips with autos. Some crazy stuff.

That’s what I recalled. After seeing the additional pics and confirming with you guys I think this is a converted car and a previous owner blew some smoke about it having a Dana.

68 gtx.


I want my fair share

I've seen several 440 4 speed cars with 8 3/4 rears with 3.23 ratio, I think all the Hemi 4 speed cars came with Dana 60 only, 3.54 or 4.10 ratio while the 440 4 speed cars could have come with the 8 3/4 with the 3.23, 3.55, 3.91 and maybe 4.11 ratio shruggy scope

I guess its possible this car was originally 4spd ,Dana and 22" radiator. MAYBE.

BUT< I seriously doubt it. And without a fender tag there will ALWAYS be doubt.

Like I said, I think the guy has the car priced decent for what it is. BUT, IMO . Keep looking

it's is simply not the way they came from the factory -
bring evidence of one 440-4 speed- 8 3/4" car (non-'66 c-body)
bring evidence of one 440-4 speed- 22" radiator car

Agree, In my 35 years in the hobby. I've seen a couple of them in person, a 70 Coronet R/T, 69 GTX 440, 69 Hemi RR, 70- V-Code Charger all D21's and all have been proved to be fakes. I would imagine one may have made by mistake maybe. I've never seen that one.

prove a 383 car left the factory with a DANA - it did not happen!!!

a 383 Super Bee with a 22" radiator & a 4-speed would be a factory 3.23:1 8-3/4" car
