Help! 1969 GM replacement frame

[gsinnamond]

Hello, i recently bought a 1969 corvette
Car has been sitting for 20 years.
Previous owner stated the frame is a new GM replacement frame.
We removed the body from the frame.
Frame is near perfect with TRW new front suspension with rear end in frame.

Does anyone know where we would find a GM stamp or part number indicating a replacement factory frame?
we can not find any marking??
from what i understand you could buy this frame until 1979?? from a dealer?
thank you

I can vouch for the fact that you could buy that frame and a few others up until at least that time. I was in GM parts at a large Chevy dealer and we sold them occasionally to guys building a racer from scratch. It was easier to gusset and prep a new frame then swap over the body. Sorry, I can't remember if part numbers were stenciled on these or if they only had parts tags wrapped around them with tape.
