Interchangeable Frame Years For 67 Chevy

Interchangeable Frame Years For 67 Chevy

Interchangeable Frame Years For 67 Chevy

(OP)
  I have a Classic 67 Chevy Malibu Convertible. The frame is now unrepairable. I have been advised to Change the frame entirely. What years are Interchangeable?

RE: Interchangeable Frame Years For 67 Chevy

Your local junkyard has interchange manuals that should answer the question.

RE: Interchangeable Frame Years For 67 Chevy

There's at least one aftermarket frame available for the following cars.  Since they were all listed together, some level of interchangeability is implied.  

1964-1972 GM A-Body Chevelle, Malibu, GTO, Lemans, Tempest, Cutlass, 442, Skylark GS

For some unknown reason, I keep thinking there were some slight wheelbase differences (112" & 116") depending on the sub-model, though that may be associated with whether the vehicle in question was a station wagon or an El Camino.

Make sure you get a Convertible replacement frame, fully boxed rails and thicker construction if I remember correctly.

At least 64-67 is the same, at least for fit, there could be some variations in hole locations for accessory equipment. ( Gas lines, etc. )

RE: Interchangeable Frame Years For 67 Chevy

Norm,

Do you recall who manufactures the replacement frames you mentioned? This information would be of great potential value to me.

The 2-doors and 4-doors had different wheelbases.  I am sure the ones being repro'd are for the 2-doors, they are the ones with collector interest.
