I never heard of a one piece unless you are talkin 69 T/A or a 70 Z-28 spoiler.

70-81 will fit.
All Centers are the same. the changes are in the end pieces.

70-73 would be correct
74-78 are so close 99% of people will never know.
The diff between them and a 70-73 is the point by the tail light.. 70-73 comes even with the bottom of the tail light and has a square corner.
74-78 extends slightly past the tail light and has a more rounded corner.
See Pic here of the 74-78 spoiler on my 70 Bird
I have a 70-73 set here in my office but no camera handy to show ya.

79-81 don't taper as they round over the quarter pannel.. they stay full width down to the body line.

Camaros run two types of rear spoiler. The one piece - which is the smaller of the two and bolts to the trunk lid and hangs over the tops of the rear quarters by 6" or 7"on each side. The other is the three piece spoiler which uses the same centre section as a Firebird spoiler, but has different end pieces. These end pieces are not a direct fit to a Firebird...they would need to be modified if you wanted to run them as the bodylines are different.
