I think the fronts would be if the 69s were for a small block. Rears probably not since the 81 uses a composite spring.

Sorry, i did not give enough inf. The 81 had a gymkana suspension so it had a steal spring set . I got a new set of Delco shocks on the 69 , but go for a BB so i want to give the shocks to the 81. Thanks

When I bought my Bilsteins they listed the same part # for 63 to 82. I just recently bought some 90/10 drag shocks for the front for track days only and they too were listed as same # for 63-82. No different listings for BB or SB on the shocks. There were different listings for the springs though.
