[Chevelle-list] 1965 Frame & Rearend

[William Piper]

Mike,
 
I'm interested in the difference between the two frames as well. Have
you be able to get the measurements.  I have an El Camino frame that I
would like to put under a hardtop because the frame is stronger. Thanks,
Tom

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
