Default Body to frame problems

Hi! I was wondering if any of you have had this problem. Seems after I dropped the body on a new frame, I have a huge space at my rear mount pads. Frame is OEM pretty sure. Would load pics if I knew how. All other mounts as factory.

Sounds like mixed parts. What year body and what year frame? How much gap are you seeing?

So sorry guys! New here. It's a 1960 that I bought in parts. New frame was supposed to be an original that was blasted and prime red. To me looked right. Old frame rotted.gone! So now I'm trying to mate the two together and all other mounts line up. Except the rear most mounts. Ever seen this?
