Re: 1955 Chevy Cameo Chassis Swap
The Caprice/Impala frame from 77/90 could be had with either 5 on 4-3/4 or 5 on 5 bolt patterns . The ones with HD brakes had the 5 on 5 as Joedoh said.
Not the worse with a 116 inch wheel base but as Case.unfried already knows they call for some serious front end sheet metal trimming/butchering.
The brakes are pretty simple because there is quite a difference in the size of the rotors and drums. On the suspension pieces there may be a difference in size on a couple of the bushings that you have to do your homework on but not a lot.
Set up right that rig should drive pretty nice.
