Looking for a nice, straight 68-69 Camaro or Nova front subframe bare or with suspension, for my 69 Z-28 Project X resto.

PM me with details.

Thanks, Paul

67 WONT WORK?

67 Has different holes in the front of the subframe then 68-9. It would still work though

I believe the very early 67s had no hole,and after that they were all the same..

I would think that shouldn't be too difficult to find one near you. The subframe is good up to '74 Nova as I recall from Hollanders. Some of the off-brands like Buick, Olds, Pontiac had some funky brackets welded on them but the same otherwise.

Good luck.

'67 frames have the lower A arm bumper attached to the subframe not on the A arm like '68 and '69s. 1968 has the A arm bumper on the backside of A arm. 1969 has the A arm bumper on the front side. 1969 has two subframes. One was used up till around August of 1969 and the revised version after that for the late build '69 Camaros or the 1970 Nova.

Warren,

can you tell me more about the differences on the 69 subframes?

Eddie, the easiest way to tell a late '69 Camaro frame or '70 up Nova is by looking at the driver's side front top three holes. The forward hole is used for the radiator support mounting. The third rearward hole will be elongated on the later frames. From what I was told, but never checked to verify is it was elongated for the vent hose used with the charcoal canister on the Nova.
