Is it possible to put a 1970 Chevelle body on a 1972 Monte Carlo frame?

NO go, MC's are different. Tom pictureguy Aug 28th, 99, 8:35 AM Merle, You should be able to use a 70-72 Chevelle, Cutlas, Lemans or Skylark frame. ------------------ Thanks, Michael Team Chevelle Member #136 71 Chevelle convertable Westfield,MA Tom Kordick Aug 28th, 99, 8:55 AM From the firewall back they are the same but from the firewall to the front springs, they added 4" and from the front springs to the bumper, another 4" were added. ------------------ Randy Mosier Aug 29th, 99, 6:21 AM The Monte was originally designed to be Chevy's version of the front wheel drive Toronado/El Dorado. It was changed to rear drive before it went into production, but the frame length was left unchanged. It is much longer than the Chevelle in the front.
