dcombs Grease Monkey Registered: 08/29/11 Posts: 7 Loc: kansas	Just drug home a 60 impala convertible home. No motor, tranny or rear end. Some one has torched front suspension out from under it. Was wondering what front frame rails where the same, so I can find a donor car. Thanks for any help!

As I remember the 58 is different for some reason but 59 through 64 should work pending on the point Gene raised _________________________ John, 1931 4 Door Sedan 1953 2 door 150 Sedan 1954 4 Door Belair Sedan (parts car) 1960 2 door Impala Hardtop 1962 2 door Impala Hardtop 1962 2 Door Biscayne Sedan 1985 Caprice Wagon (Too nice to call unrestored) 1990 Cavalier 4 small doors
