Finally found original early 67 12 bolt with radius rod bracket for L48 car. Going to replace the 10 bolt that was under the car when I purchased it. Question is there any differences in the yolk or drive shaft I should be aware of or is this a direct bolt up ....as I think it is.
The driveshaft should attach to the pinion flange via U-bolts & nuts. A very few BB/autos used the larger U joint that fastened to the axle with straps & cap screws. Depending on how you define "early" may not be an issue.
My '67 04B LOS L35/TH400 uses the straps and round radius rod.
The '67 05B LOS L35/M21 uses U bolts and has the square radius rod and additional bracket w/snubber pad.
Based on past CRG discussions though, I believe there was a difference in the front and rear yoke angles, relative to each other, between a small block and big block due to the difference in motor/transmission offset?

Too many unknowns to say if your current driveshaft will work. Is it an original 67-69 Camaro 10 bolt rear or one from a later Nova? Or from something else? Is the driveshaft original to the car?
The best thing to do is get the rear end installed in the car. Then you will need to check the current driveshaft length to make sure it is correct (by trying to install it).
A stock 67 driveshaft for your car should be 49.96 inches - measured from the center of one u joint to the center of the other u joint.
