Default 1968 Rear deck vents or Trade for my chrome plated vents

I found a set, thanks. I need rear deck vents, mine are chrome plated originals and I'd like to have painted vents. Thanks!

Are you looking for original 68 only that have the squared corners? If so I think I have a set in primer.

Can you post a picture of the "Square Corners" on the 68 only vent grilles? Also do you know if they were used for the entire model run or just partial like early cars only?

You can strip the chrome with acid and then paint.

Default Grills

You can have either for $75 shipped. The gray ones came off my 69 and the yellow ones were off my 75. I already replaced them with chrome. If yours are better than mine I would consider a trade.
Thanks
Jim

Terry,
I posed the question on the NCRS board the other day and got a response saying that there were three separate part numbers for the grilles in 1968. No usage information available as to serial # , early, late, etc. Rich
