Otis,
The easiest way to determine if it is '69 or '59 is the size of the hole in the top motor mount. The '69 mount will have a large hole that is about 3/4" x 1-1/4" and the '59 will be a small hole about 3/8" x 3/4". I have 3 1969 frames. One is marked A 9, one is 09 D and the third is D 9. 1969 was a transition year getting ready for the VIN number on a boss located on the neck forging. So there are minor differences in the frames. You may want to check your serial number to see if it is late, mid or early in the production year. I will be happy to send pictures to help you sort out the identifying features. All of the frames are nice and for sale. If interested you can call me at 612-669-0967.
