Mid year frame differences???
Ok,
I'm looking for a frame for my 67 convertible. Other than the emergency brake mount, what other differences do the 65, 66, and 67 frames have?
Thanks for some input here.

I'm not clear on your question... are you asking about differences within those years, or differences from earlier (63, 64) frames?
I think the 65/66/67 frames were interchangeable (although manual shift frames have a clutch cross-shaft bracket, and the 67 has the emergency brake mount).

all frames got the clutch cross shaft bracket.
but as fair as I can think beside the 67 parking brake bracket 65-67 frames are the same. the only thing I can think can run into a problem is 67 brake lines were routed different then 65-66 cars so there for holes for clips and clamps could be missing
