You will never recoup what you spend if you sell them. In my opinion ... they are very rough to begin with. They are plentiful a swap meets and in much better condition for reasonable prices. With pot metal, the better they are yo begin with the better the end result as well as less expensive...
"Argent" paint. Good luck with the rechroming but chances are they're going to cost you a LOT of money and still look like ****. They make reproductions !!
Just don't fall for any ridiculously-priced units. I saw some dreamer had one listed for $200 somewhere. $50 or less is a fair price. I think 66-70 should all be the same - bring yours for comparison.
The sway bar design changed from '69 to '70 and so did the K-member. I'm not sure if they made a change to the LCA's for that or not. The uppers are probably the same right from '66 to '70.
You could actually use the earlier B-body stuff if you don't care about originality - the sway bar will...
ALL holes - regardless of the panel - are stamped when the panel is still a flat blank. That way all the punches are moving on the same plane. Doesn't matter make or model - its how the stamping process works. Also, a number of holes are locator holes for the rest of the stamping or forming...

On '69's those extensions were installed at the factory (no gasket) and seam sealed before paint. I know this because I bought my car 50 years ago in original condition. When I disassembled the car a few years back there were no gaskets in there no need, the seam sealer served the purpose. But...
Sometimes a good deal is just a good deal !!! Keep in mind restorers are making the thing look original with proper date codes and all that other BS and charge accordingly. A reman unit only has to work.
If that's a '70 car then the problem is simply the air cleaner. It's not correct for that year and that's why it doesn't clear the hood properly.
Also, the engine "may be" at the wrong angle. If you were to shim the trans up 1/4" at the mount it would probably allow everything to clear.
