Default Another frame question - ok, two questions

One, what mods, if any, need to be done in order to use a 70 frame for a 69?

Two, anyone in the Los Angeles area that can look at a powder-coated frame for me? Looks to be in great condition for only $1200, but I need to make sure.

The 69 and 70 frame are both the same. There is a difference in the frame for a manual and automatic. The manual has a transmission crossmember that the automatic doesn't. A crossmember can be added to the automatic frame.

I'm waiting for a reply from this guy to tell me where the frame is located. As soon as I find out, I'll let you know.

Thanks.

The frame is in Van Nuys if your friend lives close. If so, drop me an e-mail and I'll give you all the infor I have.
