67-69 units were rear steer.
70-81 were front steer
70-74 had some funny looking upper control arms, sorry, I can't really
describe them.
I have a 1980 Firebird clip. I had ordered 1978 Camaro bushings, thinking
that's what it was. All bushings fit except upper rear. I called the
junkyard up and they told me what I had really bought. 1980 uppper rear
bushing is rare. Best I can tell, only TRW has them.
Your best bet is probably to take the number on the upper control arms and
call a GM dealer or a junkyard. The junkyard owner will talk if he thinks he
can sell you an interchangeable part, and then you know what to buy.
