Can anyone look at this front rear spring brackets and tell what these will fit? I bought them from someone who said they will fit my 1967 camaro, but they do not fit. I compared them to the picture at Rick's First Generation and they look similar to the picture but there are some differences?
Thanks is advance

I suspect those might be 3rd Gen Camaro spring brackets- from the shape of the bracket I know they are not 1st or 2nd gen pieces. Two of the bolt holes on correct 1st gen parts are slightly elongated but not on 2nd gen (which otherwise look nearly identical and also fit but don't give proper ride height).
Can you return them?

3rd gens don't use leaf springs.

:eek: Oops, my bad- I was still waking up when I chimed in :rolleyes: . I do know they are not the right shape for 1st or 2nd gen Camaro. The outermost mounting points (far side of each in photo) are too far in- the "box" that accepts the spring eye should be nearly square for correct Camaro application. Maybe they are for a Vega/ Monza?
