First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Sheen: I measured my subframe from a '69 convertible. It has never been wrecked and the subframe is out of the car. At the very rear of the subframe, it measures exactly 30" from the two innermost surfaces and 37 and 3/16" from the two outermost surfaces. The crossmember holes are 30 and 1/4" from center to center.
I can't give you the details, but there are some points where the subframe can be checked or aligned against the body with dowels or the shank of a drill bit. I'm sure somebody on the list has the details. (I need to know too before I put my subframe back on the body.)

My subframe is out of my car and propped up against my garage wall right now. I'll measure the spread across the back and email that number this evening. Ronnie Hickory, NC '67 coupe Anyone ever had this problem? Can you squeeze the subframe together about 1/4" at the rearward ends? BTW, I looked at the rearward subframe mounts and they were off center, i.e. squeezing the subframe in a little would get them closer to center.
