Re: 1955 Chevy Cameo Chassis Swap
14010202: 80-84 passenger car 305
I would still say 80-81 because of the exhaust manifolds.

Re: 1955 Chevy Cameo Chassis Swap

Re: 1955 Chevy Cameo Chassis Swap
caprice came with a 200r4 starting in 82.
the monte carlo is much shorter wheelbase, 110 inches, so look and see if the frame has been stretched in the middle. if it hasnt though, everything is looking like a caprice, wheelbase, engine, trans, rear axle, and that sway bar is a marble knocker for me.

Re: 1955 Chevy Cameo Chassis Swap
That's not a G body rear axle. Sorry, but I've seen too many. Finding an 8.5" differential is uncommon (round cover indicates 8.5"). But that alone doesn't rule it out. What definitely says "No way" is the shocks mounted in front of the rear axle and sway bar attached inside the rear control arms.
Here's a G body axle:  I agree with joedoh that we're looking at a B-body (Caprice/Impala) chassis. |
