Well to be clear, it doesn't have a Chevelle "Frame" under it. The front portion of the Chevelle frame was cut off and welded to the truck frame. The rear end is stock leaf springs were as the Chevelle had coils with a triangulated four bar set up. So that essentially is simply a "clip" job like is commonly done with a Camaro clip.
