This is what you get when you look up the lower front bushing.

2.06" 1962-1970

2.5" 1965-1970

2.7" 1969-1970

 Those measurements are for the flange of the bushing, not the diameter of the bushing itself it seems?

Yes, crazy as it is that seems to be how they measure them.

I checked yesterday. It appears 6 of the 8 bushings on my 66 are the regular ones, Moog K6075 and the lower front ones are the smaller ones, about 1.625" (I don't have a number handy for those)

I'm not breaking any new ground here, but the topic of lower front bushing size came up in a for-sale post, and I posted these photos from the arms I removed from my '66 Impala (283/PG/10-bolt) that provide some more illustration:
