If you've got a B-body convertible, you've probably got these cracks. Very common.

My little '68 a-body has them too. US Cartool subframe connectors help lots.

There was also a problem with the rear shock crossmembers tearing away from the trunk floors on some cars, had a '68 like that.
I've only ever seen or heard of that on cars that had air shocks , the shock crossmember was not designed to support the weight of the rear of the car 24/7.
