*** How do I tell the difference between 1 and 2 piece frames? ***
Look at the bottom of the main frame rail under the driver’s door area. On 1-piece frame cars the bottom of the frame will be flat and smooth. This frame is often called the “California” frame. The 2-piece frame design has a rough weld seam right down the bottom center of the frame rail front to rear. Download the instructions for detailed pictures and measurements.

***Not compatible with Wagon’s using the stock fuel tank.
