Completey different body, making a 71 or 72 into a 70 is possible though, why do you ask ? :confused: 69-Chevelle Sep 27th, 07, 10:48 PM Just curious, I like the 70.

JenniferRU Sep 28th, 07, 10:39 AM Why would you want to spend your time ruining a 1969, when you can just sell/trade it with somebody who does have a 1970 forcd ind Sep 28th, 07, 11:14 AM it can be done-jack up the body and drop a 70 on the frame hrd Sep 28th, 07, 12:44 PM get an engine hoist....wrap, or better yet, weld the chain to the loosened radiator cap on a 69...jack it up as far as the hoist allows....gently roll a 70-72 body underneath the now dangling cap....slowly lower the cap down onto the new radiator/body assembly, cut the chain loose, and....viola!, give yourself and your buddies an enthusiastic round of golf claps and backpats...you've just converted a 69 into a 70! :hurray: furball8994 Sep 28th, 07, 4:35 PM You have the best year already :thumbsup: Keep it AND buy a 70. http://bestsmileys.com/thumbs/5.gif get an engine hoist....wrap, or better yet, weld the chain to the loosened radiator cap on a 69...jack it up as far as the hoist allows....gently roll a 70-72 body underneath the now dangling cap....slowly lower the cap down onto the new radiator/body assembly, cut the chain loose, and....viola!, give yourself and your buddies an enthusiastic round of golf claps and backpats...you've just converted a 69 into a 70! :hurray: ROFLMAO. With a light weight cap, You can do this with just three buddies. No need for the hoist. Chevl_Steve Sep 28th, 07, 8:52 PM You have the best year already :thumbsup: . Fix up the 69, see an optometrist and a psychiatrist, then go out and admire the best looking Chevelle ever made! ...and then thank god you didn't make a mistake. The 70 may have the distinction of having the 454, but the 69 has the better looks! Just MY opinion of course! Steve | ||
