Man, that chassis was dangerously bad. Good choice to replace and glad you found a good donor. But I think nearly all the frames from 1963 to 1981 are exchangeable but do have small differences.
old chassis
I got the last of the old chassis to "chassis heaven" yesterday.

The car sat through the gases from the volcano in Leilani Estates a few yaers ago and any exposed metal was treated poorly. I know I could have cut the rotted parts of the frame out and replaced them, but all the suspension was in really rough shape as well. I was able to purchase a donor car for a very reasonable price and just built up that chassis to replace this one.
