    My buddy had a low mile white with a white softtop and a plush red velour type interior late 1980's Pontiac Grand Prix G-Body I absolutely fell in love with. Like I wish I could of seen a row of these on the car lots with different options back in the day! Mmm! You have the king of the g-body class for sure! I'm a 70's 80's 90s Caddy Brougham Fleetwood and same for the Caprices. Although the 60s Caprices and big GM cars are my favorites for something I'd slay with as a daily just like I want to with one of these! Rock on 🤘👌😎🔥💪🙌🏁

    I have front coilovers for my 79 Cutlass I've been waiting to install because we're putting quarters and a bunch of body work. Can't wait to get it all done because I'm definitely going to want more goodies for under the car!

      Nice! You will definitely be happy with the improved handling the coil-overs will provide. Please reach out if you have any questions or need recommendations! 952-985-5675

    I'm wanting to upgrade the suspension and disks/brakes on my 83 cutlass Supreme. Thinking about putting a 2000 blazer set up, but wanting to add some better control arms and suspension for when I do upgrade to a 6.0 engine...what do you recommend,would like to order a kit. Need help with part numbers for a 83 cutlass Supreme 🙏

      Our components will work on the factory Cutlass frame, but not the 2000 Blazer. For the Cutlass, check out PN HK22-GMG1

    I have access to my Dad's really nice gunmetal t-type regal, It came wit a 307 that we'd like to swap out
    Its a a great car for roadtrips and I'd like to swap in a reliable v8 that I can make good power without blowers 350-450hp
    but gets decent mpg for say 200-400 mile trips on a bout a $5k budget...maybe $10k on the high side
    I'd like to keep the stock thm200 trans, not opposed to having it built a bit
    and stock wheels and tire sizes
    any suggestions?

    El Camino is a B-Body as is the sedans and wagons. That said; theoretically the difference between G & B is solely the length of the frame, and not much else, these G-body components should bolt on to a B-body. I assume they would much like most of the front clips should swap.

    • @sonnycarson86
      @sonnycarson86 4 роки тому +4

      64-77 el camino is an A body, 78-87 is a G Body. B body is a sedan. A/G is the coupe.

      @@sonnycarson86 I was speaking specifically on the 80s as per the point of the video topic. It's basically a Malibu wagon, it's longer than a gbody.
      Yeah the 67-77 are Abodies, seeing as they are either Malibu(again) or Chevelle based and even use the wagon floorpan with bolt holes for backseat... since this is pertinent to B/G body conversation.
