I know what you mean. Why have cut-outs for BBC only when they'd work for other blocks as well?

All I know is I've seen a lot of frames without those cutouts. Might be a year thing.

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s of OEM identifications and part numbers, all written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
