71-76 camaro 3800lbs vs. 67-72 swb 3800lbs.......I've owned both. Yes camaros could be had @ a lighter weight..... but a truck can also be put on a diet.
The F-body has better suspension geometrics. Plain & simple. Lower center of gravity, better camber curves, better engine placement for weight distribution & more spring-rate options.
Another option to consider is an A/G or B body GM suspension (impala, caprice, older chevelle).
The trucks have a simple (& effective) rear suspension, & a simple front suspension.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
