Out of the factory, the G-body 8.5" is the only 100% bolt in that doesn't require special offset wheels or aftermarket suspension arms.

Early to late Caprice rears are way to wide, they have 5 on 5 bolt pattern, and the upper control arm "ears" are at a different angle then the Gbody. Too many mods to make it worth it.
