The 1969 boss 429 has a wider body than the rest of the 69 mustangs.
That being said

Hears a site that sells what is needed.

Not exactly. The 69-70 BOSS 429 has the same body as the regular Mustang. The engine compartment was widened with modified shock towers to clear the massive BOSS 429 engine. If you look at the Crites image, you'll see what they are selling is basically a repro of the 69-70 BOSS mounting bracket.

Well, we couldn't have people thinking the BOSS 429 has "a wider body" than other Mustangs.

Kar Kraft widened the shock towers and extended out the inner fenders. I'm done with this, NHRA is on.

Well, they changed out the 428CJ towers for the widened BOSS towers, unique upper control arms to match them, added a unique BOSS 429 export brace, and the outer shock tower braces from the spring "cover" to the cowl.
