I see them now, as you say, in the parts book but in a different part of the 
illustration where I hadn't noticed them before. They were used up thru the 
end of '70, but they were dropped at the start of '71 with the redesign of the 
dash.  

I'll have to look in my '69 someday to see what we're talking about. I don't 
remember ever noticing them.
