64-67 2 and 4 door used the same length frames. Starting in 68 they do not interchange.

Joe I understand that most A-body frames 2-4 doors are the same in terms of length but the concern is between the year is the front frame horns-matching those with that years bumper brackets? I heard that the 64-65 Skylark and 64-65 F-85 are the same, the front bumpers will bolt up but a 64-65Tempest will not?
