They bolt on with studs (more solid) and have a slightly longer neck.

Mark, are these mirrors direct replacement for 68-69 camaro mirrors?

Define direct replacement. It is not a direct replacement. Some assembly required.

Thanks for the reply. I mean if the base of the G Body mirror and the stud spacing match with the 68 camaro mirror base, so there is no need to drill holes at different locations to fix the G Body mirror.

Yes you need to drill two holes and sort out what to do with the remote mirror control on the drivers side.
