Frame Chart
Tried a search, but no luck. Does anyone have a copy of the frame compatability chart I saw floating around here in some post. It lists the differences from year-to-year.
I'm wondering if a 78 frame would be a direct swap with my 77.

This website lists all of the changes to the frame throughout the years. There was a change made to it in '78.

So it says the differences are:
1978 - Gas tank support crossmember changed.
1978 - Rear crossmember changed with new hatch glass and tank mounting.
Is the Gas tank support crossmember a bolt-on? Also, any thoughts on what I would have to do to make this work?
