Basically all type 3 cases are backwards compatable, but there are some 
barriers to carrying an old case forward. One of these barriers is at the 68-9 
transition. Your 67 case does not have the rear mount holes necessary for 
putting this in a 69-on IRS type 3. There are adaptors out there which claim 
to get around this problem, but I would personally never use one.

I have good late cases if you need one, as well as most other parts that you 
might need.
