Info I have shows the easiest way to tell a 69-70 from earlier is the top has a "cross" indentation in the top on a 69-70, and earlier ones don't. Just A "U" shape.  Some 70's supposedly were pinch-weld type.

A 66 (and late 65) had a square bar end where the threaded rod travelled thru the open end.  70 had a rounder one.
