I only installed one corvair suspension in a 36 chevy truck years ago, but I have slept since then and don't recognize the parts. It would be nice yard art. I hope the 37 is going well.

The spindles are obviously drum brake units with GM rotor/hubs attached...wondering if they could they be stock 37 spindles.

Most of it is going to the scrap yard, the only parts that look salvageable are the spindles and upper control arms. The rotors with GM bolt pattern look like they were installed but never used...rusty now but could be cleaned up.  I'll have to look at the parts closely for part numbers.

It looks like the cross member was cut & re-welded in the middle to either widen or narrow it to fit the 37 frame.
