Default Mustang II and pinto chassis

A friend and I race a mini stock. It is built on a Mustang chasis and needs a new front clip,frame rails. We wandered if a Pinto has the same front frame rails. We have the ability to do the work just dont want to buy a Pinto and cut it up and the frame not work. Thanks for all your help Larry Baker

They're similar, but not identical. I don't know if they're close enough in overall design to interchange or not.

The Mustang II's subframe is based on the Pinto design, but it was altered substantially for better handling and a smoother ride compared to the Pinto, including the addition of an entire subassembly the Pinto didn't get (Ford designers called it the "Toilet Seat"). Further changes were made for the 75-78 cars since Ford decided to offer V8s.
