No clue if it will or not, but I would think you'd be stressing the camar stuff.... including the small brakes.

I`ve heard of people either doing it or wanting to do it.Ijust don`t know why.It`s not something I`d consider.These trucks already have a coil/a-arm suspension,only heavier,for a reason.If you`re looking for a swap to discs,any truck f/e assembly through`98 can be swapped,not grafted in.

Never tried putting one of those stubs on a truck but have messed with em building dirt track stock cars. The 67 if I remember right is a "rear steer" which means the steering box and tie rods are behind the crossmember. That created many issues with clutch linkage and headers. I may be thinking of the Nova stub(but I think they were basically the same)-this was a long time ago. What I do remember is that when 70 and newer stubs started being more available, no one used those older ones anymore as they went to "front steer" and the room issues were solved for the most part.
I do agree with the other guys tho that just using truck disk setups and all is the way to go. It doesnt make any sense to me to hack off a stub, go thru all the fabrication to fit the Camaro one and in essence make no substantial improvements.
