Butler didn't build his frame jig until 82. Pictures from underneath are the most helpful in determining what you have, especially of the pedal box area, crossmember and differential mounting area. Door hinge and engine compartment construction will help as well.

Thanks Jason, and others,
I'll collect all the photos and submit for opinions/eval ASAP.
Might be a little delay due to T-Day and in-laws, etc...
Remember, the best four Fs are upon us, here are three of them:
