Frame Question

[49fastback]

I just acquired a 1959 hardtop car without a frame. I do have a couple of 1959 4 door sedan's with a good frame but I'm not sure if the hardtop and sedan frames are compatible?
Any help....most appreciated.

The frames are the same for ht and sedan.

Our chart above agrees. Looks like 1960 was the same too.

thank you. I was unsure whether the hardtop and convertible cars had the same frame as this often happens.
cheers....

Hi Dan,
Do the convertible frames have an extra 1/4" plate along the top of the frame? near the front/firewall area?

They have an extra plate on the bottom of the frame. I have not looked on the top.
