Hello,

ive got a Chevrolet 1957 Pick up with a Camaro front clip but im trying to identify what year the clip is ( im in the UK). Im looking to upgrade my suspension eg sway bar, top and bottom arms etc. Please find pictures below of my front clip if there is anyone able to help.

Thank you

The 67/69 Camaro and 68/72 Nova had the same part #. The engine frame mounts that someone welded to the frame are for a 68/70 Chevelle.

Hiya from Texas. Your control arm appears to be a 1968-1972 GM A-Body Lower A Control Arm, compare it to the pics here...

I'm currently doing a suspension upgrade on a '68 Camaro and are installing tubular control arms, a nice upgrade from the stamped steel arms made by Chevy 50+ years ago.






Good luck on your truck, my good friend has a '51 Chevy 3100...

Hiya Katie....yes, that type type of tubular control arm but obvious those are for a GTO.

I bought mine from here....

And the coilovers are from QA-1, were highly recommended from a buddy who has had 4 Gen 1 Camaros...

We are in process of the suspension upgrade [front and rear] hoping to test the car later this week.

Hope that helps...
