[Chevelle-list] Chevelle Chassis Swap

[Mike Holleman]

It's approximately 4", but do as suggested and take a measurement from the old frame. It will be easy to shorten it but be sure to measure twice and cut once.

  The frame has the same wheel base,just that the El Camino frame is longer  The difference is "BEHIND" the Rear wheels. I do not have the exact measurements in front of me but it like 2 3/4 inches that needs to be sectioned out of the El Camino frame. Finding a convertible frame is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Your El Camino frame will work with this "minor" alteration. I will look and see if I can find the exact measurements for the cut. You can try to find something online by doing a Google search. If you have your old frame measure it and then measure the El Camino frame. Everyone that I know that has done this has said it was pretty simple.
