‘71 LT1 Convertible Frame Height
Can anyone tell me what the stock frame height of the subject car was from the factory? The only thing I can find in the AIM is the body height which doesn’t help because the body isn’t on the car.
Thanks

There's lots of cool info like this in the Vehicle Information Kits that you can get, for free, from GM.

Hello,
Look at post #5.
I used these dimensions when I built a body dolly.
Used the datum line as the floor.

Just saw Bs's post.
Leads to a good diagram!

I don't know of any height dimensions that are for a bare chassis or even one with an installed engine & driveline. Every thing I've seen is for the complete car with the body on and operating fluid levels.
