Default 1968 Frame Dimensions Diagram
Any chance someone may have a copy of the "Original GM Service Manual" '68 frame chart. I have the '69, but the front horns are different, and thats right where I have to straighten. Thanks

Thanks for the illustration, though it does not look like a C3 frame. Is it possible you sent a C1, or some other frame.

I was thinking it looked like a Camaro but the caption said Corvette. It is out of the 1968 service man.

The service manual has the Corvette and the Camaro/Chevy II frame diagrams labeled backwards

Are you sure the horns are different? I was thinking 68-72 frames are pretty much the same.

Thanks for the help, but I can't get the image. It lists as (this image or video has been moved or deleted).
