69 parts into 68

I know parts of the body are different but suspension wise is everything the same between the 68 and the 69? I got access to the shell of a 68 but im wondering if i can take the front suspension off a rolling 69 and put it on there.

Thanks,
Brandon

The front subframes are identical as far as I can tell. It's the same subframe on a Nova. My 68 is going to have one that originally came off of a 69.

The 68 has more in common with the 69 than it does with the 67, and yes the sub-frames are identical. The 67 is the odd ball as it has the rebound bumpers mounted on the subframe, whereas the 68 and 69 have them mounted on the lower control arm. I believe the center link is also different for the 67, but the same on the 68-69.

67 68 69 Camaro Sub frames

Does anybody know if a 67 Camaro subframe will work in a 69. I don't see the differences besides the lower A bumpers. Also I have read 68-72 Nova will work...is this true. Also I have looked at a 74 Nova frame and I don't see any difference...do you know if if that year will work?

Yuppers, the sub from a 67 will fit in a 69, and the 68-72 -74 nova will work as well.
