I believe the power steering frames have a dimple in them where the pump mounts. Others will chime in on anything else.

Might be differences regarding rear Leaf springs VS Coil springs?

I agree on the P.S dimple, i hear some later run 67 frames got it before the 68 came out.

The rad core support mounts are slightly different on the 67-68.
Also the top of the frame rails in the engine bay are wider on a 67.
There is tabs welded too the front cross member for the disc brake lines. Where as the drum brake lines attach too the rear of the crossmember.
And the ps dimple.
All this can be worked around though too make any combo work.
