Default Strut (Camber) Rod Interchange

I have an 80 Vette with no rear strut rods. I know they take the larger bushings. I have a pair of strut rods from a 1971 with new bushings. I do not care about originality . Are these strut rods interchangeable ?

No. The 80-82 strut rods are different. When mounted the inner end sits slightly to the rear of the outer end and the strut rod is built to match this.
The 68?-79 strut rods are straight, and will not fit.
however if you have an iron diff in your car then they will fit.
