Well I'm no expert on those minor details and it is possible your 1st model year got some different parts BUT I think its more likely that all '69 B-bodies got the same dashes. The only differences being a) a/c or non-a/c and b) rally dash versus standard dash. Here are some pics ... '69 standard dash, non-a/c.

Finally putting the interior together in my 68 Charger. It has a rallye A/C dash frame. The glove box catch is spring loaded and the mounting holes
measures 2 1/2 inches apart. The dash frame mounting holes measures 1 1/2 inches apart.
Is there a smaller spring-loaded catch or a different type of catch ?
I really don't want to drill out 2 new holes into the frame.

Thanks

My 69 is 2 1/2 inches apart. Are you sure your dash frame is 1968?

I assume its a 68, it was in the car. I removed it when I had it powder coated.
It fits good, its a rallye a/c dash. I'm kind of at a loss.

I am wondering if you have a very early build 68. I know there are some odd differences.

If that's true, by any chance would you know what type latch I would need ?

No I do not. There has been posts here from time to time on early models with odd differences. Like spare tire hold down, trunk hinge torsion rollers, and other taken for granted differences. I would drill the holes. Can you post a picture of your complete dash frame.

Evidently I have an early 68 dash frame. Below is the pic that was sent with the correct glove box latch ( 1 1/2 inch. )
Finally have this solved.
Thank you to all for all the pics and help.

The 68 parts book does show a break down and what looks like the wire latch as shown in your photo. Odd thing is it ends there with no group category. So you did find one?
