Carolina67Ragtop Mar 26th, 01, 05:15 PM I've got a '67 Convertible Camaro that needs a new sub frame. Thats what my body man says. Can coupes be used as donors? Are all sub frames interchangable from '67 thru '69 on camaros? If a camaro or Firebird are not available; then what other GM year models can be substituted? I'm sure this has been covered before, but would like to poll the experts again. Thanks!! ragtopman Mar 26th, 01, 07:17 PM Yes a coupe can be interchanged, and for the most part, there is no difference between 67 and 69(small cosmetic differences). I cant remember them all, but the 1st one that comes to mind is a Nova will swap. ------------------ 67 Camaro SS Conv. 70 Challenger R/T Conv. RickD Mar 27th, 01, 02:46 AM They can also be repaired. A search will show more than you dreamed possible. However, there's plenty of replacement frames from 1st generation camaros/firebirds/early nova's. I bought one that I am detailing for $175 with power steering, control arms, etc in perfect condition. It's usually the body mount holes that rot. Repair plates can be inexpensively made and welded in. bonecrusher67conv Mar 28th, 01, 06:57 PM Subframes are interchangeable. My Oct 66 Van Nuys convertible does not have the large 3" hole on both sides between the bumper brackets and the cross member. My April 67 Van Nuys hardtop does have the 3" hole which I believe was in all of the 1968's as well. davidpozzi Mar 30th, 01, 07:39 PM Mine was built the same month. Here is a photo. I drilled the two smaller holes for a tow bar. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/David_Pozzi/67_frame.gif David ------------------ Check my web page for First Gen Camaro suspension info: David's Motorsports page (http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/David_Pozzi/) First Gen Suspension Page (http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/David_Pozzi/first_gen_suspension.htm) 67 RS 327 69 Camaro Vintage Racer 65 Lola T-70 Can Am Vintage Racer | ||
