    Can anyone tell me if any front end parts (specifically coil springs & A-arms) from '80s GM B-bodies (Caprice, Delta 88, etc.) will fit a '57 Chevy? :confused:

    At the moment, I've got some saggy & uneven front springs. With a donor car on hand, wondering what might fit without buying new, replacement parts. Thoughts?

    the earlier A bodies (like around 1967) fit....I have a pair of big block chevelle springs in my 55, but it sits up pretty high, unless you cut them down.

    A arms are way different
