66 coupe

Can I fit a 67 rear end on my 66 with out any fabrication. Can it be a weekend job or will it take more time to install.

Thank you.

Re: 66 coupe

The spring perches will bolt right up but axle is slightly wider and may require a different offset for the wheels to keep them under the fender. Everything else should work fine.

Re: 66 coupe

like paul said, you might have to use a different offset wheel. the wheels might stick out quite a bit if not. the 67 and up rear ends are 2 inches wider than the 65/66's.
