Best Answer

Any rear end from a 78-87 G-Body will work. This includes the Malibu, Monte Carlo, El Camino, Grand Prix, Regal, Cutlass, and 442. The only difference is that somewhere in the 80s they switched to a metric thread wheel stud. You'll need to get the appropriate lug nuts to fit. Otherwise it's a direct swap.

What was the last year of the Chevy chevelle?

The last Chevy Chevelle was made in 1977. Starting in 1978 the Chevelle nameplate was dropped and Chevy's midsize car was called the "Malibu" from then on. It's interesting because from the very beginning in 1964, the "Malibu" was actually a Chevelle model/trim package. Before 1978, ALL Malibu's were Chevelles, but not all Chevelles were Malibu's.
