This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Does anybody know what the differences are and what the interchangeability may be between '69 '70 Wildcat LeSabre Electra fenders and frames?

    Lets see if this helps you out or just confuses you more?:idea2:

    :Smarty:
    69-70 b-bodies share same frame and body tub. different deck lids, hoods,
    bumpers, front fenders year to year

    69-70 c bodies share same frame and body tub. different deck lids, hoods,
    bumpers, front fenders year to year

    69 b-c bodies same fender blank, different side ornamentation but different frames

    70 b-c bodies same fender blank, different side ornamentation but different frames

    okay not sure what a B and C body are? I know Skylarks are A bodies. I guess what I reall need to know is if I can use the frame from my '609 Electra 4dr on my '70 Wildcat 2dr?

    B body: Wildcat, LeSabre
    C body: Electra

    I believe electra frame is longer between wheels and behind rear wheels. It would need to be modified to fit under your 'cat

    Taylor,

    So you decided to fix your 70 Cat after all? You probably could just pull the body from the frame and fix up the frame. Might be less work than swapping a new frame underneath.:laugh:

    Wow! Grandmas LeSabre's lookin' pretty good these days.

    I've put about 80,000 miles on my '70 Wildcat since I've had it and nobody seems to want to buy it, I have no choice but to give her the love she deserves. I'm driving it everyday now and she still runs like a champ, I'm kinda waiting for it to break down on me so I can fix it but it just won't quit. I have a freshly rebuilt '70 455 and a very solid '69 Electra frame.

    You know, you could just cut the frame to fit too. I'm almost positive the wheelbase is the same, it's just that the rear of the Electra frame is longer. Chop off a few inches and reattach!
