Hi guys;

I have a 69 charger with some front end damage and I am looking for the body/frame shop guide with the measurments to square every thing back up. I found it once on line but have had no luck finding it now.
So Im hoping that someone has a copy or can send me a link so that I can print it out this time.

Thanks Dan

The above is the correct chart to use.

Would the chart above be the same for a 68 charger? Thanks Tim

Thanks, where can I find a clearer picture like above? I want to build a frame jig and this would be helpful for that. Tim

Is this the same for a convertible ? I've not seen a different one, but would rather not assume that it is .

There is a dimension chart in the shop manual, but it is less user friendly than the Tru Way aftermarket chart that is being shown above. The red Tru Way dimension books were the industry standard for frame checking at that time.

Yes, it is the same chart for both the hardtop and convertible.
