Ok so thinking about putting a different gm frame underneath a 71 caddy coupe deville, I’d like to know what fits the best underneath a caddy and what would be the best option whether it be a bop frame or an impala frame and then from year to year. All input is wanted, thank you!

I would keep the front stub and center but change the rear section. But that's just my opinion.

Electra or olds 98 would be my choice.

Aren't you supposed to just drive forward with these?

Only way to drive them, just the 71 I picked up last weekend has some hump rust that I’m unsure about, and if I have a reason why not turn it into something that can atleast take some rear end shots.

75-6 duece is the same as a 74 but a 6 has a less likely chance to have a tow package. If ur talking caddies I would say a 74 and older is better than a 5-6

Are the the same width and everything? So basically all I would have to do is cut to the right length
