OK, got into restoring 69, got everthing down, found problem with right spring pocket, don't think car was hit, looks like it was jerked by a wrecker or something. I have a 4-door parts car with a good frame, will coupe and sedan frames interchange? Any help is appreciated.

Hello and welcome j.l.
The frames are different lengths.
This type of question should be posted in another section such as Restoration.

I think that they are the same.
I would double check that one. I don't know if I agree about the four door frame being a different length. I need more proof to prove me wrong before I change my mind.

Welcome to Team Chevelle j.l.
You'll have to do some cutting and welding to use a 4 door frame on a coupe.

Can't argue with real proof.
aren't the earlier chevelle frames 64 & 65, 66 & 67 identical 2dr to 4dr?
(not talking about wagon, elcamino, boxed convertible frame)

No, it's universal throughout the production sequence. The front horns are about the only constant in the equation.
