Default 64 camino suspension under 65 lemans

Just bought another 64 elky the body is shot. It has rebuilt everything under front and rear. My question is will all the frontend stuff work under my 65 lemans? Thanks in advance

All of the '64 El Camino suspension parts will bolt directly onto your '65 LeMans.

The '64 -'72 GM A-body cars share a lot of the same suspension components.

The front end on my '64 GTO has lower control arms off of a '67 Olds Cutlass wagon, the front disc brake rotors and spindles came from a '69 Grand Prix.

The easy interchange of chassis and brake parts between the different GM brands over many model years is a big reason why these cars are so popular today.

the El Camino frame rails should also be fully "boxed" for strength, you could put the whole frame under your Pontiac to stiffen the platform.
