Thread: 1954 Bel Air front suspension ?

Tweet

I have written this whole thing out.....in detail..... over a period of an hour or so...….TWICE...…. and TWICE it has decided to disappear just as I was posting it. So this time, I'm just giving you the general idea...…
Use a 2009 to 2012 Chevy Colorado for front and rear clip swaps. Use everything from the Colorado except the body and glass. It weighs the same as the Bel Aire, so the springs on the Colorado will be the correct rate for the finished Bel Aire and the track width is within a half inch. 2009-2012 were fitted with an LS3, 300 hp, with your choice of 5-speed manual or 4-speed auto. Front 1/3, Colorado, complete with motor and trans, radiator, complete cooling system, computer, front suspension, brakes, wheels and tires and steering. Middle 1/3, Bel Aire mid-frame with body mounts. Rear 1/3, Colorado, complete with rear suspension, driveshaft, differential, brakes, wheels and tires and fuel tank and pump.

Do not cut any springs and do not change the camshaft. If you want it lower, Z the clips. If you want it faster, add a turbo.
