Hi all

Will a 68 body fit directly to a76 frame?

Are body mount locations the same?

Thanks

"Directly"? Short answer, NO. Frames are different front and rear because of the different style bumpers. Can it be done, sure, but it is not a bolt on type thing...it requires quite a bit of modifications.

Dang. Forgot about the bumper situation.  I guess look for a 72 or earlier frame.
