Question convertible frame replacement

Hi All, Is there any possibility that a 1967 Delta 88 Convertible frame will fit under a 1968 Delmont 88 Convertible? I have heard that some Convertible frames will interchange with some or minor modification. My present '68 Delmont frame needs major work and I'm thinking about replacement. I do have access to a '67 Convertible frame but it is some distance away in a salt free area. Can anyone help me out with any information on this interchange question? Thankyou to anyone for your response.

While they may not be identical the 1967 and 1968 88 frames should interchange.

Thanks Joe, because of your expertise with things Oldsmobile, I feel very good about proceeding with the frame swap. Thanks so much for your post. Regards, Ron.
