Is there any major differences between the 68 and 69 hubs? Would running the 69 hubs on my 68 be an issue? One of my hubs is bad and I found a matching set of 69s.

Talking more about the Hight of the hub. After measureing booth hubs the 69 appear to push the wheel out about 1/4 in. I don't know if that is an issue or not or if it matters on my 68
Here is the 68 |

The later A-body hubs are about 0.25" taller at the flange and are sometimes found on F-bodies where someone replaced the originals with junkyard parts. I bet your '69 is from an A-body car.

I was told these were original from a 69 with 22000 miles. But you never know.

Some people have speculated that the taller hubs could have been for a heavy duty brake option, but I have never seen evidence of that option existing. It shouldn't be too hard to find a used one, but they are now repopped and some places (Kore3) are making billet replacements.
