[Jon Mello]

You're welcome, Mike.  I looked at the axles again and they match up with your observations.

And for some reason the Firebird apparently used an "I-Beam" section (a couple on eBay right now).

Yes they did, and they used two of them on an axle.

I have seen Birds with the square bar also.

Does anyone know if the front bracket and the plate welded to the body are the same on a firebird as on a camaro? Looking at the one eBay the bracket does look similar.

Yes, those pieces are the same.

[little_hoss]

Didn't know that! Thanks! I found a firebird in the junkyard last year that still had the radius rod assembly on it. Going to go this weekend to see if it's still there.

[Mike S]

 I thought those plates are now in reproduction.

I don't know. I've seen the brackets and radius rods though so I would imagine they are. Anyone know who has them? I am also going to look for parts for my '68 C-10. Just going to have a fun Saturday 

[little_hoss]

Yep, you're correct. Just saw all the brackets and plate for sale on the Rick's Camaro website.

Kurt,  I recently acquired a 1967 SS 350 (RS package also) with a Powerglide trans. 

01D build date
no radius rod
2nd design axle bracket; no body bracket, just the 2 bolts coming thru the floor
VIN is 124377N178723
rear axle is QK 0120 G
unfortunately I have no documentation for it
