Your ‘68 Fury uses a bolt on stub/sub frame whereas a RoadRunner is a full unibody car with a bolt on K frame (engine cradle suspension). You need a stub frame from a’66 - ‘70 Fury. Chrysler and Dodge stub frames are longer. If your stub frame isn’t to rotted, perhaps a good welder could repair it.

Thank you , I understand for the front but the rear frame rails and the rest? Can some other b bodies share some structure that can be used on a 66-70 c body , because if my rear frame rails are shot i need to replace them...hes willing to change them for me but i dont know what models have the similar shape

Replacing rear frame rails is a major job. Even with good parts that match. No B body body parts will work on a C body.
I wouldn’t want a “body man” that doesn’t know the difference working on my car personally.
Rotten rails on a C usually means it’s a parts car. Unless it’s something super special. Again, check it out. If it’s rusted, run. For what it will cost to fix even half assed you could buy a very,very nice car of the same model.
Hey, I’d love to have a Super Bee, but I’m not gonna buy a rusted hulk and try to make one from scratch. And I can’t afford a good one,, so, no Super Bee for me!

Ditto on B-body frame rails do not match. I'm glad the shop owner is helping you, but he'd better do a lot of measuring before sectioning in B-body parts on your 1968 Fury.
I would place a want ad for cut out c-body parts in the FCBO wanted forum.
@SGT FURY has cars and might be able to cut rear frame rails or recommend someone with a compatible C-body.
Other possibilities:
Desert valley auto parts
Or
Wildcat auto parts might also be a source.
