Bar length and mounting to the axle changed.

Measure thrice... buy once.

And FWIW.... Here is a tech article I authored back in 2011 related to track bars: http://talk.classicparts.com/threads/track-bars-the-short-and-the-long-of-it.14368/

I have an axle from a '68 that I put my old '65 Mean Green, and the panhard bar on it is a different design and so is the axle. Besides the axle being a Dana 60, the mount appears to be part of the axle assembly and not welded on. It also comes off at a different angle. They can be swapped in but the mount on the frame needs to be altered/relocated.
