Does anybody know if my 47 pontiac frame is the same as a 47 chevy frame?I can buy anything I wouild need for a chevy but nothing for a Pontiac.
well in 49 the fenders are longer then a chev so im guessin sumthin has to be different for pontiac other then trim
I do not now about 49 but my 47 pontiac is exactly the same body as my 47fleetline.I could take the doors,fenders or what ever and mix and match them.The frame on my 47 fleetline has been hacked up so In can't use it for a reference.I know the pontiac has stock open drive and 5 lug pattern.
and I know the front fenders are longer on a pontiac of the same year so....? you want me to get a wheelbase off my 48 chevy coupe?
you seemed to be so sure of yourself with the body I just wanted to make sure you knew what car I am talking about so you could be of some help.I know what body I have but like I asked are the frames the same.There is now need to be an ***!
Thank you for finally helping me out and by the way nice truck I have seen you driving that since you first started building it.The truck has evolved nicely.Do you happen to know about the front suspension area of the frame, can I buy crossmembers and stuff for a 47 chevy?
Pontiac has a totally different frame and suspension , as long as its a small series body ,the chevy frame may go under it with some floor/ mount fabrication
Thank you very much.Do you know of anybody that sells frame kits or motormounts or does it all have to be fabricated?
pontiac only, 41-48. hollander shows 3 frames used in these years. difference seems to be conv,regular coupes and sedans and station wagon.cant be that hard to find a correct frame in ca.lots less work than trying to adapt something.
#1. you never said what body. #2. you asked if store bought stuff was available and i ASKED to see the frame PLUS i offered to get a wheelbase measurement off my coupe. #3.then you started telling ME the answers. your car, your problem. but I'M being an ***? funny how much you're kissing everybody elses *** now.
What are you wanting to do with the frame? California Pontiac Restoration should have any of the front end rebuild kits and scarebird has a disc brake kit. Any engine mounts would have to be made.
Look go back and read the thread from start to finish I did not ask if aftermarket stuff worked first I asked if the frames were the same you asked to see it .Then you started questioning what I was saying about the body.Everybody but you has been really nice and helpfull you have been an ***.I just wanted some help you got all deffensive like you are a pontiac expert or something you don,t even own one.I have the car sitting right in front of me and you are gonna question me about the body.You should get your **** straight before you reply again are change your name to TOM*****
Thank you 55 chieftain for the info I am looking for a disc brake conversion and general other stuff like motormounts.I have seen mounts for chevy frames that you use the stock rivet holes to bolt them up and then weld them in place also stuff like that would be good for my application.I will deffinately check out the sites you mentioned.To everyone that has replied I am sorry for subjecting you to the non related posts from myself and Tomslk.I am new and so far the experience has been great, I by far do not know everything nor will I ever act like I do so please accept my apology. I am now going to the garage and then the kegerator for motivation.
Back to your original question kinda, 37-48 Chevy are A body, the A body Pontiac would be 46-48 25 & 27 series. B Body Pontiac 41-48 which is a bigger car is 26 & 28 series. Thats only for the bodies, like already mentioned-frames totally differant.
