Default 2nd Gen. Camaro Subframe - What Year Do I have?

I need some help determining which 2nd gen. Camaro subframe I have in my 1957 Chevy truck. I am looking to order some parts from DSE and there are 3 options for the parts (70-72, 73-74, & 75-81). Are there any differences I can look for on the subframe to determine which one I have? Any help is appreciated.

I think the only major difference is in the a-arm bushing diameters and possibly the balljoint.

70-72 use a engine mount tower like a 67-69 does. not sure about 73-74 but 75-81 the rubber mount bolts to the frame instead of engine and also uses metric brakes. there is also a difference between firebird and camaro in the steering system, but can be interchanged as long as all of it is changed.
