What? You're missing a part of your question. What type of complete front suspension are you looking to bolt up?

The spindles and calipers will swap over, and possibly the outer tie rod ends, but that's it. Everything else is different between the '65-'66 and '67-'68. In fact, I believe you need to use the '67 outer tie rod ends because they went to a larger diameter pin with a different taper than the '65-'66.

Here's a good thread about the spindle differences.
