      Yes, I believe there were very few differences between springs for different years. The bigger question would be are they multi vs mono leaf springs. If you are swapping spring types, you'll likely be changing axle spring perches.

      The only Hotchkis springs I've seen have been multi-leaf. Do you happen to know if your '69 currently has multi or mono leaf springs?

      They're the same from '67-'69, so yes they will fit. You will have to make sure your perches are multi-leaf though. I do believe there is a kit that will allow you to use multi-leafs on a mono-leaf perch, but I forget where they're from.

      If its the 1.5 drop leafs you're looking at you may want to look at other options.I have these springs along with a 1" block and it's still not quite low enough.

      You'll get the look with just a different spring rate than the Hotchkis.The upside of the Hotchkis is that they are stiff which help keep it from bottoming out(big issue in my neck of the woods-terrible roads).

      Hi, the Hotchkis 67 leafs will fit a 69. If you are looking to go lower though, we do offer a 3" drop.

      You will also need these, i had to cut about an inch off the top to be able to adjust low enough, ended up being too low but still had plenty of room to get the ride where i want it. Be sure to cut a small helix in the top to fit the frame that has a notch for the coil spring and you can weld a small stud to them and bolt it through the small hole that is in the stock subframe where the spring would seat to hold them there.

      I went with 650 lb springs and i have a 1 1/8 solid hellwig fsb, QA1 single adjustable shocks all around and will be going with a hellwig adjustable rsb.
