Default Midyear vs 68-74 sway bar

Does anyone know what the difference is between BB sway bars on 65-7 and 68-74?

I assume you are talking about the rear sway bars. 65-7 sway bars are straight accross the long section that connects to the frame. The later sway bars have a slight offset bend on each end accross the long section. Very minor difference, a late one will work on a midyear if you don't care about it being totally correct. I could send you some pics of the 2 different styles if you like.

Thank you very much for the help. You resolved my problem. Looks like I was sold the wrong part. Glad I spent time blasting/painting and installing new bushings on something I dont need! Every day I learn a little more about model/year changes....
