and then 629 ??...That's all I have come up with so far..

sorry, didn't know that. Maybe fill out your car's info in your signature?
Year One used to have the fender tag info in the front of their catalogs.

Here is the link for the '67-'68 FT Decoder. It is a PITA to use however...just fair warning... You have to count the spaces to get the letters/numbers to line up perfectly or it will just yield gobbledy-gook. Took me several tries to get it to work for the wife's '68 GTS 'vert.

The 950 codes is trim and I’m a bit unclear on them so take these as most likely.
what I derive is:
9 sill molding
5 drip rail molding
0 belt line molding,

The 48 is 323 sure grip
H4X is interior trim code.
H high trim level
4 vinyl split bench
X black

Tires 45 code is -F-70/15 redline speedway nylon

The other one is not a fender tag, even though it’s on that format. It doesn’t go under hood by the rear fender tag. It went under the carpet on the drivers side in 1967 Hemi cars. I bought a gtx from and older man who owned it since the 70’s and I new the car and it wasnt any kind of a fake. When I took the carpet out there was that tag. I was told by knowledgeable people that’s where the factory put it.

It was never under hood by the real fender tag.

I don’t know if 68 even had them or not. Many changes for 68 like the vIn moved to the dash, the certicard moved from the under hood pouch to the owners manual, fender tag differences, etc.
