Default frames and whats the diff..

My ride is a 72. Numbers match?? don't know, don't care! My problem is that it has total frame rot. I've got to replace it. However everyone that I talk too, seems to have a different idea as to which years will fit under my body! Some say only "68-74" are the same, others want to sell me a 81 and claim that they are the same! Please help.....
