i have a Bonanza bc1300 can i find out what year it is from the serial ? the last two numbers are 68.. would this be the year 1968?

It's an early 69. No neck gusset and mid peg.

From what I understand the numbers on the Bonanza fork plate mean nothing. They are not serial numbers.

Also the early mid pegs that came out in 69 still used the general traction tires like you have on your rear wheel. Sometime in early to mid 69 they switched to Carlisle universal tread tires.
