Those are 72-74 gauges.

thanks Mike,

Dayley,
thanks for posting the pics, they look really good, now i need money to get mine done!!!

Yes, the guages aren't 70.  I was told they were form a 73.  Now I am hunting a horn relay.   Advance Auto shows it on their site but doesn't have in stock and can't order.   Only about $6.00 but not available.

11 bucks but i think you can order it online

Thanks Sleepy.  I looked up the 73 relay on that site since the 70 and 73 is different.  They also have it as a discontinued part.   I think the only thing wrong with mine is the cover is missing.  But I will test it.

All guages are now working. Even the fuel.   Dash cap installed.  I think it looks good.   Only problem now is  the backup light in on in any direction.  Off in park and neutral but on otherwise.    Now I have to put the windshield in, start on the carpet, seats, door panels, and headliner.  Still have to order the headliner material though.  May have to buy a new carb, since it is still running a little rough.  BUT, the more I drive it it seems to be leveling out some??

My RTSE was also built in LA. Build date was 10-11-69.

[DAYLEY/CHALLENGER]

I got a 10-69 build date also but don't know the day.  I only have the original vin # from the old door that was replaced.  They must be close though.

You just missed out on that tough to locate lower valence SE trim piece you need on the front.

NOS on ebay last week.
