from all the ones I've seen, the answer is no. On the Impala, the chrome that comes up the sides goes all the way over the top and down the other side. Chevelle only comes up to a few inches from the very top and to a slight point. The Impala seats swing in towards the middle, chevelle they fold straight forward. The sliders are also very different: the impala has kind of a stub, if you want to call it that, on the floor pan that the inner front of the seat slides down onto(in other words, the leg doesn't bolt down to the floor, just slides over the stub and tightens down), whereas the chevelle has a normal leg on all four corners and they all bolt to the floorpan. From the looks of them, the impala seats seem a little wider than the chevelle also.
This is just the experience I have had with A body(Chevelle, GTO, Skylark) and B body(Impala, Catalina, Olds Delta 88) GM vehicles. Hopefully others will chime in to confirm this info. 64elkynss
