A frame from ANY '68-72 GM A body convertible will fit because they all use the same frame. I'd stick to the convertible frames because they are reinforced to deal with the lack of a permanent roof.
It would be the same as any 1964-65 Chevelle station wagon frame
A 1974 Chevy Impala frame would work
added the top?
it would work on a 65 el camino but I don't know on a regular chevelle, if the wheel base is the same it will work.
Yes. A body, is full frame. F body would be a sub frame, like camaro, or nova.
See the following in this discussion list: Why is the water leaking into the frame well of your 1997 seabring convertible? Why is water leaking into the frame well of your 1997 Chrysler Sebring convertible? How do you unclog the rain water drain that is draining into the car? Where are the drain holes on a 97 Chrysler Sebring convertible?
Absolutely NOT!! They are two entirely different frames and two entirely different cars. The Impala is a full size car while the Chevelle is a mid size car. You CAN use a frame from the other GM A bodies from '66 and '67 with the same body style (coupe, sedan, convertible, etc.) so a frame from a Buick Skylark, Oldsmobile Cutlass or Pontiac Tempest/Lemans will work with VERY little modification, if any. The only thing you would need to change is the motor mounts. Everything else is completely interchangeable.
Whatever a buyer is willing to pay that would be acceptable to the seller.
depending on the year of the car, Chevrolet had developed cars that had the same body style, but with different names. for example, in 1968 Chevrolet had built the chevelle.and this body style had several different variants, one would be a Malibu, then a chevelle Malibu, a chevelle, and a chevelle super sport. so a chevelle clone would be just taking a car with one body style, and converting it to a different variant that had the same body stylr. it would be like taking a chevelle-Malibu abd converting it to a chevelle ss.
Under the frame close to the wheel coming off.
The short answer to this would be no, it will not fit. Not without considerable re-engineering of what G.M. did. The full size Chevrolets used an "X" frame from 1958 to 1964. The Olds, Pontiacs and Buicks used a standard frame configuration. (Frame rails more out-board) The exception would be Canadian built Pontiacs, which shared the X frame configuration. 1960 Olds 88 and super 88 except Convertible would be the only direct bolt in replacement frame.
I is not really a motor, it is an electric hydraulc pump, it is located under the rear part of the top on one of the sides of the car Usually behind the rear upholstery panel (where the rear passenger door would be if it was a 4 door car), if you cannot find it, follow the cables on the inside of the convertible top frame until you get to the actuating cylinder, you will find a long hydraulic cylinder under the rear of the top, follow the hoses.
