    What other A-bodies/years will a 67 Special hardtop frame be correct for? I have one and would like to use it. Thanks

    I'll guess that it will fit any 1964-1967 GM A-body, which would include the Buick Special/Skylark, the Pontiac Lemans, the Olds Cutlass and the Chevy Chevelle. Your frame is not boxed, so it would not be correct for a GS or other big block car.

    Glad to know the big block cars had a boxed frame. I thought only Converts had the boxed one. I hoped it would work for a 66 GS I was planning on fixing for the future, but that car is a GS 400, so I guess it's boxed.

    If you use a 66 frame in a 67 or vice versa you have to use the rear springs from the frame you are using. Rear springs are different on 66 and 67. The frame is different to accomodate the difference in the springs.
