You can get these frames from any "A" body(cutlass,skylark,,etc.) Convertable frames follow the same suit. 68 to 72 have suttle diffences if you had one of those years.

So I can't use a 68 or 70-72 frame. Well that just made the search harder great!

I just did some more checking and a 68-72 frame are the same dimensions. There are slight differences in the frames but it looks like they will work from what I have been told. I just had a friend put a 70 frame under his 2 door 69 coupe. A 1968 frame has an extra metal V shaped guard under the front crossmember.

I have found a frame that has been converted to a convertible frame. Should I stay away or will it be OK?

Look it over good, make sure it is still nice and square. Check out the integrity of the welds.
If you want a nice hard top frame to convert yourself, I have just recently acquired one as of today.
