Default will it fit?

Will a 77's trailing arm and/or wheel bearing assembly fit on a 68. In the Corvette store they have them listed as 65-76 and 77-82??

I don't know of any difference as far as them fitting. The emergency brake cable bracket moved slightly on some, I believe to give better clearance on the 255/60-15 tire option, but I don't know of any other change offhand. I have swapped years between those groups without issues other than readjusting the length of the emergency brake cable.

i believe in 1977 they changed a few things in the rearend... and i'm pretty sure the upper crossmember is different...

i'm sure you could make them fit a 68 but some modification might have to be done

I am actually just going to reuse my trailing arms and get the wheel bearing assemblies. Someone near me is parting out a 77 and they are letting stuff go pretty cheap.
