Thinking of buying a 70 12bolt locally but not sure what I need to do to fit it to my 66?
Some quick research points me to...
67+ has the raised spring perch
68-72 is 1" longer overall
I don't have a problem with either of these since I can spare the offset on my wheels and I can cut the pigtail off my 66 springs or weld a plate in place of the raised perch.
Do all the 4 link mounts, shock mounts, springs locations, and all that line up the same? What other issues should I be concerned with? Are the Camino rear ends different than the sedans? What about driveshaft issues?
It should go in with no problems. Your stock springs and controll arms should work fine. The extra 1/2 inch of length per side would be the only prolem if you have wide tires.
