I haven't talked to him for a while, but I assume that Gary Gruhala is still in business in DeSoto, MO. He used to work for the Corvette plant in St. Louis, and usually has good parts available.
Just talked to him last week. Still there. :thumbs:
WTB: C3 frame. I'm willing to drive a bit. I'm in NE Ohio, western PA region.

It's important to state what year of a C3 frame you need. The 68 frame was a little different than subsequent frames...particularly for the frame extensions that were used to mount the front chrome bumper. I think the 69, 70, 71, and 72 frames are the same. The 73 frame was slightly different than previous years with respect to the front bumper mounting. GM sold the 73 frame as a replacement for the 68 to 73 C3's. A body shop could easily make the minor mods to get a 73 frame to work with the 68-72 chrome bumpers. For 74 and beyond you need someone with more expertise than me to state the frame differences.
There's a website that has all the frame differences....haven't been there for a while, I think it's something like corvettefaq.com.

Should be pretty much the same from 74-80 or 81, when the aluminum differential was introduced.
