Not sure what a wagon uses, but are you looking for a GTO hardtop or convertible frame> Hardtop doesn't have a closed frame even in back.

I do believe that Wagons use a ‘Boxed’ Frame

66 and 67 frames are not the same. 67 has 2 different convertible frames. Auto and MT. Crossmember bracket is welded in two different locations due to the introduction of the turbo 400 transmission. I do have a rustfree, pitfree CA 67 frame. Would need to check which one. Price $1500

I was just going by the Paul Zazarine ‘GTO Bible’; but your right, it doesn’t speak to Wagons...

On A-body frames, the rear spring "pockets" are also different between '64-66 & 67 model frames.

Front crossmember, stamped slightly different, there were minute changes in these nearly every year. Transmission crossmember for convert & HD frame option Pontiac A-body is different than one used with unboxed standard frame.

does not matter -they will still interchage-both HAMILL and A.O. SMITH made those frames and that would account for the SLIGHT differences
