I have the 1967 Pontiac, Acadian, Beaumont Chassis Shop Manual PS 53-132 printed in 1966.
I also have an acquaintance, who considers himself somewhat of an authority on Beaumonts, mainly because he has owned 5 of them over some 28 years.
He told me that, from his experience , the upper and lower A frames on Beaumonts, especially the 66 & 67, are not the Same as A body Chevelle of the same years.
My manual dose not, or I have not found any reference in the manual saying so.
Can anyone clarify this for me , are they as rare as he is saying they are?
there is however a difference in upper control arms for 1964-65 canadian built cars. the uppers have greasable control arm shafts similar to the trucks of that ere. USA cars did not.
I have had about 20 or more 64-67 chevelles, canadian, US, wagons, sedans, chevelles, beaumonts, they are all the same, with the one exception i mentioned

MY BEAUMONT HAS 4 STUDDED TIRES AND 2 BLOCKHEATERS......AND LOTS OF OIL UNDERNEATH. The other one has a longer roof.
Thanks for the clarification Gentlemen,
I didn't know the difference, and needed confirmation.
My concern was, as many of us have, is the what if scenario, what if I have an accident, what rare pieces would I need to put my car back together, that I may not be able to buy later???
