4th gen camaro suspension on my truck ?

I have a buddy getting rid of some stock 0mile parts off of his 02' SS camaro- which include all 4 coil springs, rear shocks, fuel stuff and sway bars. would I be able to at least use the front springs and rear shocks on my 63' GMC?

Probably not. The end of the spring needs to be wound so it sits in the cup of the controls arms. You might be able to use the shocks just check the legth and if they even mount the same. I thought all the new cars used struts. I'm probably wrong.

I know the front wont work as it is a strut/spring assembly. The front sway bar mounts with end links which is different than our trucks. You might be able to make it work.
