Frame Swap......Questions
I have a 1976 with a frame that's rusted beyond repair. I have a 1974 frame in very good condition. Would it be a feasible swap to put a 74 frame in a 76 ? What would be the major differences between the two frames ? should I sell the 74 and look for a 76 ? PS. both cars had automatic transmissions.

Be carefull and check everthing real close for issues. The previous owner of my car swapped out the auto frame for a manual frame, dont know what year, and now I find the very front ends of the frame are different and theres not enough clearance for the radiator to slide in. I am going to have to cut on ot and hope it works out.
