55,

I can't tell you with any confidence about the earlier versions, but all of the Novas from 68 - 79 were uni-body cars with subframes.

Just in case you're thinking about using the subframe in another vehicle, double check the width. There's a pretty good difference in the width between the subframes used in the late 60 - early 70's and those used in the mid to late 70's.

The 1974 nova is a uni-body /subframed car. It is also a rear steer car. In 1975 Chev went to a front steer and is about 4" wider than the 68-74 Nova. Somebody will correct me if wrong. Here is a link for front and rear end widths:

Always get a 2nd opinion, especially if I am the source of the 1st opinion.
