    Where do I find frame dimensions for my '64 Special, are they the same as a Chevelle and other 64 - 65, 2 door GM A bodys?

    A body shop with a frame straightener should have the dimensions if you can't find it online. Some of the chassis service manuals have it in them.

    Frame dimensions should be toward the bottom, photobucket link. Should be the same, 64-72 I think. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'll see if I can't find a 64 frame diagram manual tommorow to compare.

    I have a pic of the 66 frame dimensions over at 65gs.com:

    'click on the 'next' arrow for page 2.

    68-up have a longer wheelbase and rear upper control arms are a different length.

    Chevelle frames are a few inches shorter than the BOP cousins..... definitely, 66-67, not sure about the other years.
