Does anyone know where I can find or buy drawings or a chassis manual that contains dimensions needed for straightening the frame on my 1969 convertible 442?
Thanks

It's in the Fisher Body Manual

Is it in the body manual or chassis manual?
Thanks

The Fisher Body 1969 Service Manual. The Oldsmobile Chassis Service Manual doesn't have the frame info. I'm speaking from 68 experience but 69 should be the same. In fact, the frame dimensions from the 68 Fisher Body Manual should be the same for 69. Unfortunately, I don't have my 68 Fisher Body Manual scanned

edit,
I just found a 68 Fisher Body Manual on-line and I can't find the info. I know I had it when I had my 68 off the frame. I'll see if it's in my Fisher Manual tonight...

Thank you.

I confirmed with a seller of the Fisher Body Manuals (Froggy's Frame Dimensions) that they do not contain the frame dimensions I need.

So, I am still looking for any ideas.... OR, does anyone have a GOOD (not bent) frame that I could buy? I am near Santa Barbara, CA but willing to drive quite a ways to pick up.

Thanks,

The only info I found is in the 68 Chassis Service Manual. It gives you the front horn spacing but everything else says to measure cross dimensions and they have to be equal.

I Grabbed this off the internet about 10 years ago: used it to straighten the frame of my '72 442 convertible, seemed to be correct.
