No 12-bolts in the 67-69 Birds, but the Chevy 12-bolt is worth some money. I have a B-O-P 12-bolt (bolt in axles) in my 69, believed to have come from a 70 Trans Am.
A lot of parts from a 69 Camaro fit, but most are incorrect (visually) for a Firebird. Most of the 1969 Firebird parts are unique to the 69 Bird, so be prepared to start seeing parts catalogs that list a part for "67-68" or "70-up", and the special 1969 parts are usually at a premium.

My Mom is a stickler for the correct look, so not sure that 12 bolt will be staying. I came home last night and she was on her back on the trailer, under the car taking the traction bars off. LOL Threw em in a pile next to the trash can LOL.
