Default Frame question

I am starting a rebuild of a 68 Malibu and the front frame is damaged. I hope I don't sound too uninformed but will a 68 el camino frame work or will a 68 4 door work? Mine is a 2 door. Thanks for your help.

I think you will have to use a 2 dr frame as the El Camino and 4 door frame is longer .

Thanks. I thought so but my bro in law said they would work. I should have bet him!

4-doors, Wagons, and El Caminos are 4" longer in the middle

Wagons and El Caminos are 6-1/4" longer in the rear.

El Caminos and Convertibles are boxed in the center.
