I have a Hollander's manual for Chevelles. For 68-72 Chevelles there is a
*type* they number as 1943. For Chevelles this fits 68-70 2-dr (exc.
Pickup) & 1971 & 1972 H.T. & Conv. Chevelles. Quite a few A-bodies are
listed under type 1943.
Buick Special '68 2 Dr., Conv.
Buick Special '69 2 Dr. exc. GS400 H.T.
Buick Special '70 2 Dr., Conv
Buick Special '71-72 2 Dr. exc. 8-455
Chevelle '68-70 2 Dr. exc. Pickup
Chevelle '71-72 2 Dr., H.T. & Conv.
Olds F85 '68 2 Dr., Conv.
Olds F85 '69 2 Dr.
Olds F85 '70 2 Dr. Conv.
Olds F85 '71-72 2 Dr.
Tempest '68 2 Dr., Conv.
Tempest '69 2 Dr.
Tempest '70 2 Dr., Conv., exc. 8-455
Tempest '70 2 Dr., H.T., exc. 8-455
Tempest '70 2 Dr., Sdn

The convertibles probably all have boxed frames but other than that are
probably the same basic frame. Don't know why the Buick GS400 or (I assume
V8 w/455 engine) in Buick & Tempest are different.
I scanned the two pages in the book if you like and will mail them to you
offline.may be easier to make sense than the pieces I chopped out.

It is rusted out in several spots along the bottom of the frame rails. It is
still in the car and probably will be until I finish with the Chevelle. I'm
thinking I should know what all will swap in case I trip across one in the
next year or so.

Convertible frames are boxed from the factory. The others are not. Where is
it rusted out? Do you have it out of the car?

I have a 71 442 convertible which I need to find a frame to replace a rusted
out existing frame. Could anyone tell me what all GM frames will work in
this swap? Thanks
