Try calling Tracy at Tracy Performance, when I was restoring my 69 I called him about frame dimenstions and he was able to provide numbers for me off a original frame he had in stock

Hi cf,
The only place I've seen frame drawings with dimensions are in the AIM and the GM Chassis Service Manual.
I'd think they're elsewhere, but I don't know where that might be.
Regards,
Alan

Which dimensions are you looking for, we have frame books dating back to early 60's at work.

Coupe and convertible frames are the same. One size fits all.
