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.
