George, I had some very early 69s like mid sept, and they all
had 69 grill brackets both inner and outer

This is from my 69 AIM. The earliest revision date is 8/68. As an answer to your question, I'd say no.

George,
Thanks for the assistance. I posted on the NCRS forum, but have not received any information as of yet.
Sullyman56,
Can you post the AIM page for the center bracket also. I am out of town and do not have my AIM with me. George is posting because I was asking him about this. My sept 11 1968 69' has 68' outer brackets. My inner brackets are gone and I thought I read somewhere before early 69's could still have 68' style brackets. I am also confused now how the center grill is mounted, thus my ask for the AIM pages.
Thanks
Joe
