1967-68 Camaro Front Bumper Differences
This information is needed if you are ordering a reproduction bumper or purchasing a used bumper, or evaluating a 1967 or 1968 Camaro for originality.
Similarities and Differences
The front bumpers on the 1967 and 1968 Camaro are almost identical, but they are not fully interchangeable. While the bumper stamping itself is the same, there are different mounting holes machined into the stamping for each year.

While they are similar, due to mounting hole differences, a 1967 Camaro front bumper can be mounted on a 1968 model only if the '68 center mounting pad is not installed. Likewise, a 1968 Camaro front bumper can be mounted on a 1967 model only if the '67 lower end brackets are left unattached.
