Re: [Chevelle-list] 1969 Chevelle Frame

I'll add my 2 cents to this.  I have a 71 convertible that needed both of the the front body mounts replaced. After considerable searching these mounts were used on Monte Carlo's,  Buick Skylarks, Gran Prix's and all convertibles.  I don't believe big block had anything to do with the extra cushion.  It was there either as extra support (convertible bodies) or as  vibration and noise elimination (ride quality).  I used one from a Monte and the other was from a  Skylark.   The mounts are totally different from from those found on hardtop chevelles.   There were actually several things found on Skylarks and Cutlasses that weren't available on Chevelles that improved ride quality, reduced wind noise, etc. that would be associated with a higher priced (luxury) car. I can send a picture of them if anybody wants one.

Sure would make it easy to pick out a clone (non SS made into an SS) if they were missing those extra mounts.                                                                         Larry (Z)
