I believe it was the late 80's buicks (centuary i believe) I have used one before on my s-10 and loved the results, but have not used one on my 56(yet) It was easy to install, it took about 2 1/2 hours to do with minor cutting and welding

It was the LeSabre/Park Ave from about 1986 to 1991. I have not seen this done.

Take a look at the tech article section. Here's a link to an article with some sketches and pics that may help you if you decide to build your own. It's not that difficult.
