It's the outside diameter that's different.
They will not interchange
1969 is larger and is one year only This , specifically the threaded part that goes thru the hole in the dash is a different size , you can't put a 69 switch into a 68 dash without making the hole in the dash frame , and subsequently the lower dash pad , larger. There is a difference in the wiring also , the 69 has 1 more wire than the 68 ? I've owned both years, parted a few, and played around with the switches at one point.
running up my post count some more .

I had a 69 that quit turning. Emptied the tumblers out and it soldiered on for years. Was kinda handy to be able to stick any key or a screwdriver in it and crank it up. Locks mean basically nothing in these cars anyway, a mere hindrance of a few seconds for anybody serious about taking it.
I want my fair share

John, Do you knw what the 69 thread diameter is? I have a couple a switches but am not sure what they came from. Could be 69 switches
