Default Frames for mid years

I have a 1967 corvette roadster, It doesn't have the original frame under it .Not sure what year it is. Its like to narrow, the inner frame rails sit on top of the frame and not over it.
How can I find out?
Can you use a 68 frame?
Will parts off a 68 work on a 63-67 frame?
Any info ?????

A 1968 frame must be modifyed to work . I have a 1967 convt. that has a1971 frame under it . The front frame horns ,for the bumper, all the body mounts and the rear frame rails from right behind the crossmember that mounts the rear dif. on back . It's not a easy job.
