mfg Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 In order for the Lark convertible frame to accommodate an Avanti body, 8" had to be removed from each of the frame's rear rails.......True? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1963r2 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) You certainly do have to remove some rear rail I just can't remember how much. Now the question is whether 8 inches is to much or not. I will go with true but with no conviction. pb Edited February 22, 2017 by 1963r2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer here is FALSE, more like 4" have to be cut off of each rail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1963r2 Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Twice infact. I didn't think 8 inches was right. pb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdaly Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 This is also the case with the '87-'88 Avanti-Carlos. The Monte Carlo rear section was cut (not sure how much). How do I know / how did I find out? One day I went to a Trailer Hitch place and told them to put a Monte Carlo hitch on - they came back and advised me of the missing needed rear portion!
