Re: 68 drum to 3rd gen disk?

I'd recommend keeping clear of the '88 and older rear discs, they're prone to failing and not working properly. I'd look into the '89 and newer PBR rear discs and they'll install cleanly onto your '68 rearend without issues.

And if you choose to do the above, the following may be helpful:
