Re: [Chevelle-list] Chevelle Chassis Swap

[Dale]

Sounds like it's from a 71/72 Chevelle but either something is amiss or you
have some letters/numbers incorrect.  KD is a 2.73 (71s and 72s had the
extra 'C'), 06 is day of year but it should be three numbers; if it's really
a B, it's Buffalo, NY plant and 2 is 2nd shift.  B231 is the casting date,
February 23, 1971.  

 

Either it was originally cast in February of 1971 and not used until January
6 of 1972 (not very likely), or there's a third digit in the 06 sequence -
could it be 068 instead of 06B?  That'd make it 68th day or early March
which would go with the late February casting.   Check again to see if it
isn't KDC 068 2. 

 

67890 is a foundry number, no significance (along with 12345), OON3 doesn't
ring a bell either.  Look for a casting something like 3969278 or 3969278NF
in the web of the center section opposite where you found the date casting
of B231.

Jim,

 

I was concerned about that. I bought what is supposed to be a 12 bolt rear
end from a 67.  I have researched the code stamped on the passenger side
axle tube (KDC  06B  2) but have not be able to identify what kind of car it
came from.  Casting numbers are B231, 67890 and OON3.  The rear end is two
inches wider then the 10 bolt that's currently in the 1965 El Camino
chassis.  I have not measured the rear end currently in the 67.  Thanks for
the input.

If you have factory disk brakes they will swap over as a bolt on. The 65
rear is narrower than the 67, this maybe a problem.

Thanks to all who provided information on this swap.  I have measured the
bare 65 chassis, the 67 is still being driven. The measurements are very
close to what has been mentioned in this forum. I believe I'm .25 inches off
due to working around the suspension and exhaust of the running car.  My
goal is to build the chassis including new drive train to minimize the down
time. I believe I have enough information to start and save the cut and
welding while the body is off the original chassis. Thanks to everyone for
all your help. Tom

Check the measurements on a posted photo I have the frame measurements -
http://www.chevellestuff.com/tech/frame_dimensions_small.jpg

 

Using two common reference points measurements show 148.62-inches for the
wagon/pickup and 145.35-inches for sedan/coupe/convertible - a difference of
3.27-inches.  All of it is behind the rear end.  I don't what other
physical difference there is in the 64/67 frames but I'm sure someone here
does.

Can anyone put me in contact with someone that has swapped a El Camino
chassis under a 2 Dr Hardtop. I have a 1965 El Camino chassis and would like
to start a ground up rebuild of my 67 Chevelle.  I understand the El Camino
chassis is stronger but also a little longer and will need to be cut. I
would greatly appreciate some pointers before under taking this project.
Thanks, Tom
