72 delta convertible frame(chassis) difference between hardtop

what is the difference between a 71-75 fullsize convertible frame and a fullsize 2dr hardtop frame? if any? I know cutlass and other A body frames are diff., but I thought the fullsize frames were all the same? I have a 72 delta convertible that is rotted away. just bought a rust free 72 delta 2dr hardtop and was going to put my convertible top and windshield frame onto it. are the full size frames reinforced also? don't want to butcher up a clean car if its going to ruin it. anyone with some real info would be appreciated

Hollander Interchange manual list the convert as a different frame from the hdtps.

I've never had the opportunity to compare them, but the convertible frame will be fully boxed.
