All 1963-64 Olds B-body cars (Dynamic 88, Super 88, Jetstar I) EXCEPT the 1964 Jetstar 88, which has differences due to the use of the 330 motor and Jetaway instead of the 394.

Makes for a pretty short list of potential donors, thanks for the info.

And of course the boxed convertible (and optional HD) frames are different from the open-section frames used under hardtops and sedans.

Thanks for the info. I need the open section frame for a hardtop, anyone find one laying around I'm a buyer. Were there any other GM cars that used this frame, or at least one that would be a good substitute?
