78anniversary

Can anyone help me out with info on frame compatibility? I have a 69 that needs frame work around the pockets that hold the trailing arms. I have found a rear section of a corvette frame on ebay but it is for a newer corvette (75 & up I think). Knowing the extreme aft section of this frame is different due to the rear bumper differences will the rest of it work for replacing the rotted trailing arm pockets on the 69?

Where did the Dale Earndhart ad come from?

Try to find a frame from a '69 to 73 if you can. It will make the repair much easier. The ad comes from the forum's new owners.

The trailing arm pocket sections of the 75 frame should be OK for your repair, but you would have to cut the 75 frame off about even with the centerline of the rear wheel and weld your original back end onto it.

I think you can get individual repair pieces from places like Zip's and maybe Doc Rebuild. It might be easier overall to just replace the bad portions of the original frame.
