    My guess is 54 to 56 Century and Special, but the different body styles 2dr vs 4dr may make a difference.

    i think if, my telepathy is serving me right, wes wants to know what model chasis will slide under the body of his 55 buick century so that he can have a more modern vehicle with a old body on it.

    Hey Wes,

    You will need a vehicle with a 122' wheelbase.

    I think in the 70's the Riviera had a frame to suit you needs.

    Any vehicle 1977 or over the wheel base is too short.

    You could use a "B" body from the 80's
    W/B was 115" so you would have to streach the frame between the wheels 7"

    Regards,

    Tom Gallagher
