My 64 F85 deluxe wagon has a rotten frame. will a 67 a-body work under my wagon?

When I was looking for a frame for a 66, I found one for a 67. The 67 is year specific. The core support and front horns are different to accommodate the crossflow radiator. The upper rear spring mounts are also different. Use 67 springs on the back and that should be Ok. Not so sure bout the core support up front, the 64 might fit, but I couldn't say yes or no.

According to Joe the 1964 sedans and wagons had the same wheelbase. You might ask Joe if they interchange or if the frame rails behind the rear wheels are different on the wagon.

As to your question between 1964 & 1967 the front rails are different as tmaleck said. Here's some pictures to display that. I do have a couple 1964 frames from 2 and 4 door cars available if your near the West coast. John

Here's a 1964 with straight frame rails in front of the front tire.

Then here's a 1967 frame with the bend outward for the wider radiator

The prior posts in this thread have it covered. The wheelbase is the same, but there are detailed differences. 1967 has the unique front frame horns due to the different radiator and core support. Wagons have slight differences in rear body mount locations.
