Thanks to all who provided information on this swap. I have measured the bare 65 chassis, the 67 is still being driven. The measurements are very close to what has been mentioned in this forum. I believe I'm .25 inches off due to working around the suspension and exhaust of the running car. My goal is to build the chassis including new drive train to minimize the down time. I believe I have enough information to start and save the cut and welding while the body is off the original chassis. Thanks to everyone for all your help.

All of it is behind the rear end. I don't what other physical difference there is in the 64/67 frames but I'm sure someone here does.

Can anyone put me in contact with someone that has swapped a El Camino chassis under a 2 Dr Hardtop. I have a 1965 El Camino chassis and would like to start a ground up rebuild of my 67 Chevelle. I understand the El Camino chassis is stronger but also a little longer and will need to be cut. I would greatly appreciate some pointers before under taking this project. Thanks, Tom
