Hello Atuckman,

in 68 the date code and interior paint codes are on the top line. They moved down on the tag in 1969.

Th "E" is the interior trim code...probably stands for black trim.

The 733 is the for a standard black vinyl bench seat

R-R Red Paint top/bottom

If I remember correctly, the trim tag will always show 11427 v8. You need to check the VIN nbr to see if it's a v8 If it shows 11427, you're golden. 11327 6cyl 11227 4 cyl. Nothing will designate big block on either.
