68-72 frames
All,
I've got a '68 rolling chassis listed in the 'for sale' forum. Does anyone know of any differences, whatsoever, between '68-'72 frames. It's from a '68 convertible, small block, 4spd car. The radiator core support is not part of the chassis.
Thanks,
Rob

The difference between your frame and you having an extra $1,500 is defined by the distance found bewteen Tuscon AZ and Lexington KY. If you were closer you'd have your cash tomorrow.

Not absolutely positive on this difference. There is a chassis sitting on the showroom floor of the Eastwood Company in Pottstown, PA. While waiting for my restoration supplies order to be filled, I gave it the once over. I noticed that the rear kick-ups did not have holes in them for the trailing arm shim cotter pins. I asked the counter guy what year the frame was and he replied '68. I have no idea if he is an expert or was just talking out his azz.
Perhaps one of the many '68 experts on this forum, and there are quite a few judging from how many come to the 68's defense when a disparaging remark is made of them, will come forward and set the record straight.

The radiator support mounts on a 68' frame are the same as those found on a mid-year frame which is exactly the reason I would love to own your frame. I need a frame to convert back to a mid-year frame and a '68 frame makes this job much easier. The radiator support mounts changed in '69.
