i doubt it, i tried taking the rear end out of a second gen camaro and putting tht in my 69 but it didnt line up right, it was off by a few inches, im about 99% certain the same would be said for a 3rd gen

Yeah buddy the rear out of a third and second gen camaro are both wider than one out of a 67-69. I know for a fact a 67-69 rear is 54 1/2" from backing plate to backing plate, and a second gen is wider i think like 56" but not sure, and a 3rd is wider yet, and I dont think any of the spring perches line up either.
