How similar or not is the frame from a 71 Buick Skylark to a 1986 Buick Regal?

not really
Not close. The A body Skylark was a longer wheelbase by 4 inches on two doors and even more on 4 doors compared to the G body frame of the 80's Regal. It would take a rather large amount of reworking to get them to interchange between cars and I am not even sure on the width, which may make it a no go also.
Assuming you need a frame for the '71 Buick & It's a 2 door Hardtop/Convertible, These are the Frames that fit....
