Again, this is correct.
BUT, not all 2 doors are the same.
The difference is that the 4 doors and Malibu have the short stubby front frame rails.
It is very noticeable when you look at where the frame curves up to the front bumper shocks.
sh*t so that means the 4 door regal i just got has the stubby frame? good for a malibu but not a 2 door regal?
You shiuld be able to crawl under your car to compare the very front of the frame.
I "think" the malibu, lemans, grand lemans, Grand Am and 4 doors have the shorter frame, and either the Regal or Cutlass.
If G body frames were different then why are these frames advertised for all of the models expect the wagon

They must not realize Malibus have shorter front stubs. I can confirm this as my Monte Carlo front frame horns are longer than on the Malibu frame I have. They seem otherwise identical.
ok you had me worried i bought the 4 door for nothin haha i went outside and looked, i have 2x 1982 regals 3x1985's 1x 1984 and a 1984 4 door and also a 1984 cutlass and the frames are all the same on the front end the difference is the 4 door regal has double or so the length of bumper shock absorbers
so which would have the long front frame rails? monte or grand prix? or could you be mistaking this fact?
would this be noticably different in length as far as the eye can tell all mine are the same... regals 2 doors and 4 door and cutlass 82 to 85 years
