67 and 69 do for your 68

Not sure what you are trying to determine from the question, as there is no real subframe. But the the 68 body is essentially identical. The 69/70 body is different enough that I would not consider it to have the same subframe. Dimensionally there are similarities between between the 3 generations 65/66, 67/68 & 69/70. For example subframe connectors & export braces will usually fit all these model years.

65 and 66 chassis are wider. The 1967-70 Stangs are almost identical, however the 67-68 and 69-70 front sub frames are slightly different

Don't you mean they are narrower?

Thanks guys for the info. What I am trying to determine is if one set of sub-frame connectors will fit XXXX number of years of Mustangs. In my spare time I fab engine cradles, sub frame connectors etc. I have a set designed for the older Mustangs (196X - 1970?) Would like to determine that before I sell them. I think they will fit from 1964 1/2 thru 1970 Coupes & fastbacks. I don't have a convertable to try out on. Thanks for all your help. Anybody interested can get ahold of me at:
