i am about to buy a really nice 1970 impala. question I have were these cars still box frame cars? I thought I read that 69 and 70 were c-channel frames.
also, will a frame from a 1968 impala be the same as a 1970 impala?
this '70 I am buying is a real nice car inside and out, but it has a box frame and some one has repaired it. I have a really nice 68 frame, that's why I was wondering if it would work, thanks,.....bill

While a 68 frame MIGHT work, I believe the frames changed each other year. 65-66 are the same (idler arm is totally different than later years), 67-68 are the same, and 69-70 are the same. The differences from 67-68 to 69-70 may be something as simple as front frame horns, but I think you'd best be served by getting a 69-70 frame.

If your in search of a 70 frame , I will have a good 69 Frame available this summer that will work . However distance may be an issue. ( just north of Pembina ND in Canada )
