Could you use a 1972 frame for a 69 body for instance and have all holes match up for everything right down to mounting the body to the radiator support and everything else that has to be mounted to the frame. thanks.

68-72 2 door hardtop frames are the same, all holes will line up.

70-72 (possibly 68-72, don't really know) 4 door Frames are the same as a Monte Carlo.

Quad,
while the monte and 4 door both have the 116" wheelbase, the monte gained the extra 4" in the front while the 4 door gained it in the back. Montes actually have metal 4" extensions on the inner wheelwells to reach the radiator support. So the frames will not be the same.

http://www.chevelles.com/forum/frown.gif Sorry. I've never had the chance to rip them apart.

I suspose f you need to repair the frame then a 4 door might be a good donor.
