Modern Front Suspension 65 Delta

When searching front end parts (performance), unless you have a 442 or cutlass your out of luck Can anyone tell me which GM B body platform would be compatable and boltable to my delta 88?

'65-'70 B- or C-body Olds. Not sure of anything else that will be a "bolt-on". Police cars got a thicker front stabilizer bar, but you are unlikely to find one.

As noted, the suspension is unique to the 1965-1970 full size Olds and Buick. Nothing interchanges and there are no aftermarket upgrades because, frankly, the cars were never that popular from a performance standpoint.

I was not aware of the Buick interchange re: front suspension components, and am curious what parts do?

All of them. Chassis and suspension are the same on the 65-70 B/C cars.

LOL, you and I are in the same boat bud, I'm trying to find suspension parts for my 65 Delta too. Kanter has a lot of parts for 65 Delta 88s. See if you have luck with them.

I didn't know about the buick suspension interchange either, this is very helpfull

You sure about that Joe?
I recall things like bushings, ball joints and steering linkage parts being Olds-specific when I was looking at stuff for my Delmont.
