Those who responded yesterday pretty much described what to look for but
one sure fire thing you will see is a nameplate bolted to the O/D under
the car

Not as standard on a 69 but one could have been wired in

Breke testing switch - it likely doesnt work and dont worry about it -
for my money its a vestigial organ like male nipples.....
Then a turn signal, then three lenses, all look to be cut like

There should be a chrome plated LH turn signal, then the red alternator
light, then a blue (might be faded to nearly white) high beam light then
another chrome plated RH turn signal- anything other than these is an
add-on

Does it have a centre at all? - if you want to get a noce look get it
powdercoated, if it doesnt have one you may have a problem mating one to
it -

I have a stripped 69 one - drilled for a luggage rack - any good?

Sounds like thrust bearings - no it isnt normal and i'll let the tech
mavens tell you how to fix it!!
