you better get ahold of NHRA and ask them FIRST---I see your point but after checking NO HD frame was offered this is the breakdown
Same frame part # for 68-72 --2 dr HT or conv
Tempest
F-85
Chevelle
Skylark--Not Grand Sport or 455 engine

however there are additional braces and mounting points for Conv vs. a HT
I doubt if NHRA checks frames but "if" there are mods you might be in trouble--See if ya can find a Conv from one of the above cars and see if the frame is boxed or a C that will tell ya right off the bat
