Same 1968 PAD
I didn't think the '68 blocks had any pads on the sides. Three blocks that I have do not have them. Isn't that '69 and up...or is it a late '68 thing?
Greg. 
I'm not sure the exact date the 68 started having machined pads, but I have noticed some. This one was cast 4-30-68 and had an assembly date of 6-5-68.

Here is an example of Chrysler's quality control at it's finest. Keep in mind this is on a /6 '63 Dodge that was never molested and 90% original paint when I bought it. First, the original VIN was obviously wrong (one on the right) so they tried stamping OVER the wrong one to make it match the VIN. Then they stamped the CORRECT one right beside it!

My engine is like that too. A couple of the numbers are double stamped.

It also has a fake fender tag.
you must know this car from the past , no picture of the tag included . I just looked at all the pics , what a freakin hackjob that car is , the brake lines to the master cylinder are painted body color

Out of curiosity, seeing a learning opportunity, I emailed the guy asking him why there were two sets of numbers on the tranny.
He said, "first set is serial # the second set i think is dates or line numbers"
Then I asked, "Shouldn't they be in the same font?"
He said, "thats how they came"
So then I asked, "From my experience, they were the same font. You sure it's #s match from the factory?"
He replied, "yes i had it a a mopar show"
I think I still have a lot to learn.
