68 gtx A1 26 radiator on fender tag with 22 opening

The RS in the VIN means GTX.... The 68 tags I've seen have an inspection stamp that isn't present on the tag in question.... I haven't seen enough 68 tags to say it's always present but the unpainted super straight tag does raise flags..

Here s the original tag from my old 68 383 GTS,no inspection mark and the font is identical to the tag in question,I would lean more to the miss stamp than fake tag.

again......what one plant did or didn’t do doesn’t translate to another. Hamtramck is different that St. Louis.

what was coded, when it was coded and even where is was coded on the tag varies by year, plant and even time of year.
 
Because car was redone some time in its life. All numbers match the core and trunk lip numbers match the order number on fender tag and the last numers of vin match numbers on back of wngine block.

theoretically speaking, and not saying this is the case with your car......

it is possible that a rusty or totaled, numbers matching GTX, was re-bodied with a satellite; using all of the matching GTX stuff..... Only problem would be the order number on the original GTX tag wouldn't match the body stampings on the replacement body; so someone had to make a duplicate GTX tag with the new order number. (and they messed it up with the 26" code)

the only way to prove the body, tag, and VIN all match is with a build sheet.........and I'm sure they can fake those too
 
So if you are going to convert from a 22” to a 26” where can you find the passenger side radiator support panel??

AMD sells a 26" core support......... or you get one from any A/C car, even a 318 car
 
Relating to the radiator support passenger side panel??
Ohh I thought you were talking about tags....I didn't see the previous post.......

The core supports are the same in 22 or 26 for all B's 68-70....Which I think you will agree and the previous post about AC is incorrect
 
That very well may be the car. Where was it posted? Would like a little more info.

it’s the same car.

I visit numerous boards, eBay, Facebook and wherever for tags. I don’t know where that specific image came from but I’ve had it for “a while”.

I am wrong about all A/C cars having a 26"?

Nope...but it is the same core support in my non AC 4spd GTX.....Thats my point....AC core support is no different than a non AC core support 26"...They are the same....
