1969 442 Frame

I'm looking to replace my frame. I know it's an A Body frame but the ones that keep popping up arnt as boxed looking as the original. Any advice of what cars came with the same frame.

Thanks What keeps coming up

Bottom pic is a convert, 67. Top and middle pics are two door HT or sedan, 87 or 77.

Does anyone know if a '68 el camino frame would work?

El Camino's have 116 in wheel base, your 442 has 112 in, so no it wouldn't work. The boxed frame was convertible only on the 68-72 so if that's what you want that's what you should look for. Your original frame would be the open channel for a hardtop. If you wanted to add the convertible frame it would work. You could also weld the boxed pieces onto your original frame if it's good shape.
