unlike some places in the u.s. the availibility of these cars at a boneyard isnt that great. I guess I could take a 4 hour one way trip just to "see" if theres a difference, but I cant be the only one to ever run into this question or problem.. I will call hooker, but then again your asking a salesman, not a builder. My question isnt about strictly the frame, but what others have done to correct this problem if its true.
