I have a 1972 Chevelle SS and the front of the frame is bad. It can be fixed be I do not want a fixed frame. I can get a rust free 72 Buick Skylark Hardtop frame. Will this swap under my Chevelle? Thanks!

As far as I know, they should be a direct swap. While I have never personally known anyone who has done it, I have read that it is possible. I hope it works for you!

Keep in mind that the frames have the VIN stamped on them and this change can lead to some problems with the vehicle registration. If you never change your state this will be no problem. If you move or if you sell it to someone out of state, it will become a point of discussion.
