ive put a 77 caddy frame under a 93 fleetwood, it was the same except for the brake line holes in the rear which i just had to drill a hole :dunno:

Yeah there's been a few of these topics before, and I've always understood that theyre the same from 77-96'.

I WOULD THINK THE FRAME SHOULD FIT

 

[youcantfademe]

NOW LET ME ASK THIS, HOW CAN I DO THE BRIDGE WHILE THE FRAME IS OUT AND NOT HAVE TO HACK MY TRUNK FLOOR TO SHIT?

 

[NY-BOSSMAN]

IM NOT SURE YOU CAN,THE FLOOR WILL HAVE TO BE CUT FAR AS I KNOW

 

[youcantfademe]

what can i do to the stock pckets in rear so i dont have to chop the floor ? its not going to be a hopper, just a street car....

cant afford to do it twice... once is enough for me .....

 

[DanielDucati]

now that I think about it, maybe it was the rear bridge on the '82 frame that wouldnt let the body mounts line up...shit It was over 13 years ago and over 21 cars ago..........

 

[DanielDucati]

let me call my brother he was there when we did it............

 

[youcantfademe]

cool let me know , thanks for the help.....
