How different are the Abody frame rails to the Fbody? Has anyone compared the 2 side by side? Just asking because the Abody frame rails are readily available.
Thanks for the info!Just learned the other day that diplomats and Fifth Avenues use the same rails. Lots of those around to scavenge from.
I like that theory.Left front subframe rail rot is very common, even on relatively rust free F-body cars. My theory is battery acid fumes getting in at the front, and settling in the lower areas. Just a theory though and may be way off base!
The reason I bought a battery with a vent tube, which I ran down to the bottom of the car. Also keeps the top of the battery clean, and no terminal corrosion. It makes a huge difference.I would have thought if it was the battery that it would happen to other types of cars too. But I don't know what else is different to that one side.
It was mainly the earlier years prone to rusting out there
