Are the rear frame rails on a 67 firechicken the same as a 68 Camaro?
The idiot before me made some and then welded them in about 1-1/2" too far forward. Now I know why my shackles lean forward at the top so far that the spring eye is hitting the frame just sitting there.
I have a 67 Firebird that I am using for parts to build a 67 Firebird vert but I don't need the frame rails for it and was wanting to use them on my Camaro. ???????

Thanks

According to the catalogs, the 68 Camaro and the 67 Firebird have different part numbers. However, they are both 45" in length. My guess is that they would be both the same but, could not be 100% sure without looking at them side by side. I would measure what you have on there now to confirm the lengths.
