[Chevelle-list] Chevelle Chassis Swap

I assume you mean by " 66SS frame brackets" the short brackets that are 
located between the upper and lower control arms that Triangulate that frame 
area,  by diagonally brace the rear suspension.
Original one's are vary vary hard to find, they do show up on Ebay on 
occasion. They also Re pop them and are at most re pop dealers. They 
somewhat look like an original. also  GW and Edelbrock make tubular ones.
