This document is an exploded isometric line drawing titled "63-82 Chassis Components," covering the full frame assembly for 1963-1982 Chevrolet Corvette models. The main illustration shows the complete perimeter frame from front to rear and identifies each major structural component with callout labels: the #1 and #2 crossmembers, the differential support crossmember, rear axle crossmember, rear end crossmember, and rear frame crossmember. Body mounting hardware is called out at four positions (#1 through #4 body mount brackets), along with the associated cushion, cushion retainer, and mounting bolt shown in an exploded detail. Structural reinforcements are also labeled, including the kick-up reinforcement and the upper and lower gussets at the rear kick-up area of the frame. A separate inset panel on the right side illustrates frame rust repair: it shows a "Rotten Frame" condition at the rear frame rail near the body and a "Frame Rail Repair Section," depicted as a boxed replacement rail segment spliced into the existing frame rail. A reader can use this diagram to identify frame component names and locations for restoration, body mount replacement, or frame rail rust repair on a C2/C3 Corvette chassis.
