Does anybody know if a 65 body fit on an 84 frame? Has anybody done this? Thanks

Re: frame question

The drivetrain is already in the 84 and the axles are already rebuilt.

Been there done that, don't recommend it.

It is a whole lot easier and less work to just transfer everything you want from the '84 over to the '65. Plus it is better IMO to keep the original frame, for the reasons mentioned in the thread.
