Default Rear strut bushing size

I am going to be replacing the rear strut bushings on my 1980, I see from the parts supplier that there is two sizes, 1/3/8 and 1/3/16. Is there anyway of knowing what size my car is without taking them off before ordering them. The production date is November 21 1979.

I only know of one size (1-3/8") after 75 and 1-1/4" from 74 back.
Where did you see the 1-3/16" referenced?

Unless someone did something really bizarre yours should be 1-3/8" dia
.Corvette corral get everything from topflight and I think I see what you saw, it's just worded really poorly if it's the poly bushings you're looking atSubmodels: Base, Collector's Edition, Indianapolis 500 Pace Car, Silver Anniversary Edition

Notes: Fits 1 3/8" Diameter Strut Rod Eye. For 1 3/16" Use #33374. See Part# 34809 For This Item In A USA Made Version.

The 33374 part number is for the 68-74 struts
