GM B-body. <EDIT C-Body>
Formed steel, full perimeter type. Fully boxed midsections for verts.
Or are you concerned with cross-referencing with other similar GM cars?
A boxed can be used under a coupe but a coupe/sedan can not be used under a vert without boxing it in for structural reasons.
Not sure if 2 doors and 4 doors run the same wheelbase on a C body.
1969–70: 127.0 in (3,226 mm) wheelbase
1970: 225.2 overall length

The Olds Ninety Eight is a C-body. There's about a three inch difference in wheelbase between the B-body and the C-body.
Also, not all "GM" B-body frames are the same. An Impala frame is completely different from a Delta 88 frame in 1970. Totally different suspensions, for example.
