[Chevelle-list] 1965 Frame & Rearend

[Mike Holleman]

Larry, I just happen to have a 65 El Camino chassis sitting beside a 65 Malibu chassis. I'll take a few measurements and get back to you later today.

  Well I finally broke down and bought a 65 El Camino frame for my project. I looked for a convertible frame for the last 5 years and either they were too far away or too expensive. OK, I know we have been over this about 37 dozen times. I cannot seem to find my information to fit a El Camino frame under my 2 door hardtop. I wrote @ one time that the number was 3.17 inches, but I have seen anywhere from 2 to four inches. I have looked everywhere online and my last resort is to go through all my assembly books. I am not sure if I have the El Camino Length.
  What I need to know is:
  1) The difference in length between the hardtop and El Camino ?
  2) Where on the frame to take the length out of ?
  3) If you have an answer where did you get it?
  4) Galvanize Vs POR 15 vs Powder coat ?
  5) Paint my new FAB 9 housing with Hammertite vs POR 15 vs Powder coat ?
  6) Frame and housing colors ?
  7) Standard Detroit Locker Vs ARB air locker ?

                                                                     Thanks
                                                                     Larry (Z)
