Is there a difference between 1965 Coronet and Belvedere chassis?

Im replacing the front end on my Coronet and found a picture of the 1965 Plymouth Belvedere chassis from the 1965 Tru-Way book but not the Coronet one unfortunately.
Since the Belvedere is 116" wheelbase and the Coronet is 117" I´m wondering if the chassi measurments are the same between the 2.
The 115 1/2 diagonal measurment from rear frame to the front seem to match when i measure on the Coronet.
Perhaps the 1" wheelbase differance is only in leaf spring position?
(The new front is from a Belvedere).

Thanks.

I believe it's in the rear leaf spring positions, but I could be wrong. The front spring hangers may be longer or shorter on the Coronet. I think longer. Anyone?

Two different part numbers on the front spring hangers. As others have said, i think your answer lies there. I think (not 100% sure) youll find that even the floor pans are the same.
 
Rear spring mount is moved 1" rearward on Coronet models, to match 1" longer front spring hanger.
