i can pick up a 72' nova can i use any of the parts to make my 67 5 bolt?

I doubt it. I think the Nova (1 of my favorite cars) isn't as wide and uses smaller 5 lug bolt pattern. Novas were leaf spring rearends, Trucks were coil or leaf. I had asked a few weeks earlier about a using the posi unit from a 68 chevelle that I wanted to put in my truck and was told that everything was smaller......

Does the Nova have disc brakes. If so, they are in high demand for 67-69 Camaro owners to do disc brake conversions. I have seen the the set-up go for $250 and up on e-bay. If you can get the Nova cheap enough and it is trashed you can make some parting it out.

no you cannot, truck spindles are no where near same as truck ones, forget the idea and go find a 71-87 truck for parts'

rear axles only will work form 64-72 if you have coils and arms in rear, if you have leaves then you can use anything 64-87 if you move shock mount on one side and use the 73-up leaf plates and u bolts
