AWB body swap

[Gizzy]

Does anyone know if the AWB Chevelle body will fit on the AWB Chevy II chassis?

[Snake45]

I'm pretty sure all those early AMT AWBs had the same wheelbase, except of course the Barracuda.

It will fit, but you will have to use the Chevelle interior.  The Nova/Tempest front axle will look narrow under the Chevelle also.

Thanks guys...I didn't know about the front axle;otherwise thats pretty much what I thought.?

yes it does.

 

I have a built Chevy2 and compared it to a builtup Chevelle I have here

 

I almost think the chevy 2 interior tub will work in the malibu body. Might have to do some work on the pkg tray area at the most

 

wheelbase between the 2 is dead on identical
