...and I stand corrected. 70'-72 cars are same wheelbase. I apologize for the mis-information concerning the frame guys!!!!!! In 70' the General had a "split A" platform for the Monte Carlo, before actually calling these G-bodies. They were originally an A-body car. This is what had me thinking that the 70' Monte was same wheelbase as the Chevelle.
Well that clears it up!! lol I am constantly amazed at how DIFFERENT these cars are, Everyone thinks they are all the same. NOT the A body had a lot of changes even 66 and 67 frames are different. you would need 8 different frames to cover them all I think.
