    Does anyone know if the 58 Pontiac rear axle will bolt into a 58 Chevy?
    Will the control arms bolt up or is the whole thing different?
    Thanks :confused:

    Interesting question. IIRC 58 chevy rear suspension was very similar to Pontiacs. The Chevys did use the A-Frame type of upper control arm, but they also used an
    X frame, whereas I believe the Pontiacs had a box frame. I will agree with the previous posts, they are different enough to not be interchangable.
