quick question
before i look like a fool. i thought our GPs up til 77 were considered A bodies? or atleast the 69-72s. Am I wrong? thought only 78-87 were G bodies.

learn something new everyday. EVERYTHING from the GTO swaps over tho for the 69-72 aside from body pieces.

Someone might correct me on this but I believe the chassis on the 69-72 GP's were almost identical to a convertible A-body (boxed frame) only 3 inches longer.

Our cars are listed as "G body" or "A-special"

I remember reading that the frame is a boxed 4 door A-body stretched 4 inches.

ok i just assumed it was an A-body. and i really only asked because there was a set of big tube headers for sale over in the classifieds for G-body grand prix and a fella asked if they would fit 69. I, thinking i was being helpful, said 69 is A-body. another member responded that 69 is infact G-body. i dont know about anyone else but when i hear G-body im automatically thinkin 80s cutlass/ monte/ GPs. as far as our frames who the F knows. i asked this qustion and got nowhere with it because i needed to order a crossmember and the reg. GTO one didnt fit. looks like the gto convert. one fits (im ordering a tubular one for my 700R4 to replace that monstrosity of a crossmember).
All i know is that all the stuff i order for this , suspension and even new floors and carpet when i did them, were odered as 68-72 GTO/chevelle

Have you installed the carpet yet? I have wondered if the A body carpet might be too short for the G body. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs.
