1)  Then why not just keep the Ambo as a driver?

2)  The entire diff between the Ambassador and the Rebel is the added 8-12 (depending on year) inches between the front edge of the front door and the back edge of the front wheel well.  Likewise the front subframe member is stretched by the same amount.  Everything else, from the leading adge of the front door back to the rump is generally identical at least as far as location, and also usually styling as well.

Someone told me that the floorpans are the same, and I guess that's probably true because the added length of an Ambassador was all ahead of the front door edge -- AMC used visual trickery to make people think the Ambassador was bigger inside than the Johnny Reb.

I can check my parts book later this evening, unless someone else beats me to it.

BTW, I have two 69 Ambassadors.  If you're getting a '69 parts car, I might want to get some things from you if you'd like to sell any bits.  But, if it's a repairable car, please don't part it.  We hobbyists are killing our own hobby whenever we tear apart AMC products that still have life left in them.
