Replacement frame for a 85 elcamino

[Joshyboy2k05]

hi guys, I was under my el Camino the other day looking at the frame and it looks like swiss cheese. Does anyone know of a frame from another g-body that would work? Also, does anyone have a frame available in the New Hampshire area? just want to put the vehicle back on the road.

Only el camino will work, they are physically longer and the rear mounts are different on a wagon, although the wagon chassis is the most similar.

Long-standing Misconception. The wagon is the same wheelbase as the coupe and sedan….the El Camino is the longest

The only other G-body that will work is a GMC Caballero

The frame that was found on Craigslist I appreciate but it’s pretty far out from me
