69 olds cutlass frame

Hi,
I need a frame for my 69 cutlass. Does anybody know where I could puchase one. New or used, it really doesn't matter.
Thanks, alb

What is wrong with the one you have?

New don't exhist unless you want to go high dollar aftermarket like RS,Schwartz or others. What body style is it? I don't have one right now but I usually sell a nice bare frame for 600.00 plus freight if needed. Convertibles are much harder to find and will bring 1,000-1200.00 pretty easy

All 68-72 GM A-body cars use the same frames, but there are a number of variations. You didn't say which you have, so here's the list:

2dr HT (Holiday Coupe) and 2 dr sedan (Sport Coupe) use a 112" wheelbase open section frame.

Convertibles use a 112" wheelbase boxed frame. You can use a convert frame under a HT (GM offered this in some years as the HD frame option) but as noted above, convertible frames bring big dollars - Carlisle ASKING prices (not to be confused with actual selling prices) are in the $2,800 range.

70-72 Monte Carlo and 69-72 Grand Prix use a unique 115" WB open section frame.

Four doors and regular wagons (and I believe El Caminos) use a 116" WB open section frame.

Vista Cruisers and Buick Sport Wagons (well, the ones with vista roofs, anyway) use a unique 121" WB boxed frame.
