64 to 65 frame swap.

First of all, this is my first post to a forum ever, so forgive me for the dumb errors that might follow. Now, I have a 65 galaxie 4dr, and the frame is pretty badly rusted. (holes through the frame above the drivers side rear wheel) I found a full frame from a 64 on craigslist and I would like to know if I could swap these two. thanks.

Re: 64 to 65 frame swap.

They are different.  Quite a few changes were made between the 64 and 65 Galaxie including going to a coil spring  rear suspension instead of the leaf spring like the 64 and earlier cars.  could it be made to work?  maybe, maybe not but I can almost guarantee that if it would work, it would not be a simple bolt up.

BTW welcome to the forum!!!

Thanks for the reply. Thats what I was afraid of, looks like I'm going to search for some other options.
