51 Frame Diagram


Looking to do a swap of the front end on my old Poncho and looking for any frame diagrams with dimensions.  Vendors I've contacted can source parts for a 51 American Chevy but when I tell them it's a CDN Pontiac they cannot confirm fit. 

So far everything I've bought using a Chevy part numbers in the past has worked out, and  "its basically a re-badged Chevy" so I'm sure things will fit.  But its a big chunk of coin to spend on a "hope it fits".  So if anyone has any frame diagrams for either a chevy or poncho, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers

I did contact the GM Historical group and they did get back saying the frames were basically identical.  I've been in touch with several others building on the chevy frames, and everything I've seen the frames are the same.  I've changed my direction a bit - still swapping a 6.0/4L80 into it, but decided on keeping the original front end.  Just about ready to do my first test fit so we will see how things go.

For the rear end, I installed the Chassis Engineering leaf spring setup years ago and have been very pleased with it.

 

Cheers
