I used the search functions and couldnt find the info I need, I have two top frames from a first gen camaro, they both look like the ones below,im trying to figure out the difference between power top and non power top? Do I have two power top frames or two manual frames??Does anyone know how to tell which is which? Thanks

There is a picture in this thread that clearly shows the differences between manual and power top frames.

I guess those are power frames then.
Wanna sell one?

Yes they are for sale in the classifieds, there were no takers.I relied on the buyer to tell me what I had? bad idea!
Now looking at both frames I have and the replys here,I am guess they are both for power top cars, BUT im finding slight diffences in the way some of the arms or brackets are stamped from the factory?

Last pic is a manual one. Notice the large "C" shaped thing at the hinge. Power tops dont have the "C"
