This is what I have. You wont find actual GM prints of the frame itself and if you do send them on over. :poke:

Hey Shane, this says it is for a wagon, are they the same for coupes and El Camino's too?

In the print it has measurements specified for either wagon/camino or sedan. Those are the only differences in measurements. Other than the fact that I believe wagons and caminos have a boxed frame opposed to a c channel. Why you gonna make me a 3-link for me!

My brother and I have a '71 Nomad, and I can tell you ours is not boxed up in the middle.... Open C between the front/rear "subframes" :)

Sigh. I hate it when I go type out a reply, and time out when I try to send it.

Here's the gist of the one you don't get to see:

El Caminos and convertibles have boxed frames.
El Caminos and wagons have longer frames, and the extra length is after the rear axle.
4 doors have longer frames, and the extra length is between the wheels. The length after the axle is the same as coupes.

I know just what you mean, it's really annoying! When I write a long reply, and feel it might "time out" - I highlight all the text I have written and copy it before replying, so if it's timed out, I can just do a "paste" and have the same text in the new reply. (Hope it came out understandable)
