11 years ago in CHEVROLET
I have a 1958 Chevy Biscayne that is all original. I want to upgrade the suspension and brakes but am on a shoestring budget. Has anyone found another later model year car that has close enough suspension and brake parts to upgrade my x-frame chassis? I have looked at sites that give wheelbase and width of various year Impalas, but haven't found a site that would operate like the old "crossover books" the junkyards have. Thanks.

the frame set up was used from 1958 through 1964 all were set up the same way, using the center carrier bearing ( 2 piece driveshaft ) and rear end suspension set up.
I built a 58 delivery a few years back, and found this out then. Hope this answers your question.
Thank you, partsman. I was hoping to find something along the lines of a mid 70's G body or A body similar enough in specs to pull all the suspension and brake components and place on my vehicle. I know Chevrolet doesn't like to re-tool any more than necessary. Thank you again for your time and checking in the manuals. --Brett
