What are the differences between a B-Body 67 and a 68-70 rear frame rail? Significant? Thanks!

67 fuel tank strap goes side to side .

A local friend/member has a couple different years frame rails for his 69 runner , most of what we could see were differences in holes in the side of the rail , nothing of major significance , shapes of them and where they were located , looked like fixturing holes ???

Pay attention to dodge and plymouth rails though , not sure on some models how the difference in the wheelbase was accomplished .

OK, thanks for the info. We have some original 67 coronet rear frame rails / pans for sale, and someone with a 69 coronet needs the frame rails...comparing side by side not practical, and don't want him to get stuck with something he can't use.

The trunk pan would not be the same between the 2 years , the 67 has a sunken spare well , 69 does not .

Pay attention to dodge and plymouth rails though , not sure on some models how the difference in the wheelbase was accomplished .




Front spring hanger is were the difference is. At least thats what I have always understood.

Its been a while, but I think the rear shackle hole is in a different location on a dodge as opposed to a plymouth. Never had a 67 to compare with a 68-70 though.
