    Okay, maybe slightly O/T. I am building a 55 chevy p/u and a previous owner swapped out the front suspension with what looks to be off a GM. I am thinking Camero or Nova but am not sure. Can anyone tell me what the front suspension came off of?

    Looks like the 79' camero clip I used on my 48' chevy sedan.

    For a little more info.... The reason I am asking is I want to change the A-arms and spindles out. Looking to get the rockers on the ground, and am starting with the chasis.

    Check the spindles for a part number.
    It does look like an F Body suspension.

    It's 75-79 Nova or Camaro. Subframes before 75 were rear steer. It is identical to my Nova subframe.
