I need the last 10-12 inchs of a damaged or junk frame for the passengers side to rob the body mount perch off of.
See pic below. I currently do not have a perch on the right frame rail as a wagon should I need to add the perch on the right frame rail. It looks the same as the perch on the left. Trying to save from fabbing something up. Thanks

Edit: Just noticed this is the wagon forum.
Got no clue what the end of a wagon frame looks like... :wink:

On a wagon it should be there. The car rode fine on this chassis before and would again without it but I want to do it right so I need to add it.

The picture below shows 3 different sets of GM body frames for the 1978 - 88 G body's. The frame on the left is for the El-Camino, the middle one is the car, and the one on the right is the station wagon.

Thats the same frame that was under the car when I took it apart. It didnt have the perch cause its a gn frame so it was missing the rear bushing on that side. To add it As a wagon should have I need the perch.

The last bushing on the frame in the pic you posted was just sitting in there. There
Is no bolt in the body to tighten it. So if I add the perch as the frame should have I can locate the bushing to the proper location on the body and it should help stiffen the car up
a bit.

I didn't know a GN frame would fit under a wagon...
