The inner fender wells and radiator support sheet metal are the same for all 1955-56 Pontiacs. Nothing else will do.

Those parts are NOT same for Chevy. Pontiac and Chevy share upper body parts only (firewall back and above floor pan), such as glass, doors, lift/tail gate. Nomad and Safari share some body parts and some trim. Virtually nothing else is shared between Chevy and Pontiac. Body parts ONLY. Front end is not part of body.

Pontiac and Chevy station wagon bodies were made in the same Fisher Body plant and then shipped to respective Chevy and Pontiac assembly plants -- where each did their own thing with the rest of the car and they are much different. For non-body parts, Pontiac shares more with Olds than Chevy.
