yes, but the rotors are 70-73. the 69 under rotors dont fit (they use smaller thickness spindles). Not sure on the tie rod though, you will need to measure [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

All the 71-73 spindles and parts will work fine on your 68. Thats exactly what I used on mine and it works great. I even used my factory tie rod ends and everything fit fine. The 71-73 brakes hoses will also work as they are basically the same. Good luck and enjoy stopping better!!! RAY
