66 Body on a 68 Pan
Will a 66 body, front end, transaxle, etc. fit directly on a 68 pan? The front seems to match, but I am not sure of the transaxle and the swing axles.

You shouldnt have any trouble bolting them together. Ive seen and swapped all years together...the only difference that we've ran into is the seat tracks on the later years. We just welded in the earlier pan halves.
The hardest part is to change over the 5 lug drums for the earlier look.
The only body mods that we ran into was using a very early body on a not so early pan ('50s body to '60s or even an IRS pan) is the mount right above the rear shock where the body mounts to the pan, finding that the height on the mounts are different...not hard to modify at all.
