1957-1960 Oldsmobile Frames

This is my first post and it may be a bit of an odd one. I am seeking good quality scans of the frame diagrams with dimensions for 1957-1960 Oldsmobiles. I have, unsuccessfully, tried to locate detailed ones like in other G.M. car Shop Manuals or Motor's Crash Books but they end up being extremely vague sketches in these books. Yet, a third party company called Tru-Way was able to use diagrams from some publication that were detailed. I am not opposed to having even these out of print scans either but wondered, why detailed frame alignment diagrams are so elusive for these years? Prior years were all more detailed except for pre-war years.

Any help GREATLY Appreciated!

I actually have all the frame charts from 1946-1955 complete. Just that after that time they seem to be very vague but someplace in a certain shop manual or crash book there are detailed charts for 1956-1960 Oldsmobiles. But where and does anyone have them for any one of these elusive years?

thanks!

Eric
