Re: 72 Frame question (GrandSportC3)
Yes. It was an old style Eckler's tilt front end. I spent 8 years profecting it, and wrecked it in one day at Carlisle( last year)... I'm having the frame straighten out right now, and the shop I have it at is using the dimensions from a 78. I'm not sure if there the same. I was hoping someone knew.

Re: 72 Frame question (C3PO)
they essentially are the same, except for the rear most 15 inches or so, and the front section for crash bumper....but from frame horns backward it's the same dimensions....
