First, what is your wheelbase? Olds (GM) from your era come in several different wheelbases. At a guess I would say your at 116, but could be 112, or even longer. You have a first year car, so I can't be certain on frames. I assume your frame will be slightly different than 77 and down Cutlass. So, your looking for 78 and up. Which could lead you all the way towards the 96 SS Impala frame, but doubtfull. Your best bet is to spend some time at your local salvage yard and take a look, and bring a tape and possibly a camera. Stick with the same body style's as yours, to include the other GM brands.
