hi all, i have bought a 71 chevelle conv ,with 307 cu in, all looked great till i got it all apart , the frame is trashed ,it has been re worked many times, not enough there to to fix, so was wondering if any one knew what frames will fit ,no body has been able to give me a positive answer yet, some say frame is different on conv. want to know what to look for exactly, before i start hunting one , would appreciate any help in this matter, thanks will

think the convertible is different cause of extra bracing, which coul be fabricated on a coupe/4dr frame before you put the 'very body on it. before you take the body off the frame make sure the doors are on and closed.

Hi will, yes, convertible frames are diffent, they are boxed in on the sides that go under the doors. Here are 2 links that should tell you everything you want to know.

Good luck
