There were around 8,000 68 GTS's built. They were the only American cars to get those inserts, but they did pop up again on the Brazilian Charger around 1974. They are very difficult to find in good shape. the basic hood is that same as the 69 GTS/Swinger 340 hood but the inserts and front emblems were different.

The inserts are two pieces per side with a plastic gasket underneath. I'll see if I have time tomorrow to pull mine out and get some measurements and take some pics.

You can see where the one broke and why (the missing stud in the first picture). I don't have the rear section of the passenger side insert or a second plastic gasket.
