I have never noticed a difference, but I am not a guru either. dusters had them too, may be a dodge/plymouth issue  :clueless:

4039 is the number from the 1970 parts book. It was A & B-body only.

They were used on F bodies, trucks & maybe others in later (post E-Body) years.

I do not know if the number changed though?  :dunno:
