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)
