This is not an exact answer to your question, as it is all about wheel base, but the closest I could find on the subject. These are exerpts from Wikipedia:
Two station wagons built off the A-body used stretched wheelbases and raised rear roof sections with skylights. Those included the 1964-1972 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser and the 1964-1969 Buick Sport Wagon.
All A-body cars except the long-wheelbase wagons rode on 115-inch (2,900 mm) wheelbases from 1964 to 1967, with the wagons using a 120-inch (3,000 mm) wheelbase. For the 1968-1972 models, wheelbases were 112 inches (2,800 mm) for two-doors, 116 for four-doors, El Caminos and station wagons; and 121 for the stretched-wheelbase wagons.
Also using a variation of the A-body chassis and suspension were the 1969-1972 Pontiac Grand Prix and 1970-1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo - both of which were marketed as intermediate-sized personal luxury cars and coded as G-body cars with the GP riding on a 118-wheelbase and the Monte on 116 inches (2,900 mm). When the A- and G-body cars were restyled for 1973, that G-body design was renamed the A-special body.
The Chevelle was intended to compete with the Ford Fairlane, and to return to the Chevrolet lineup a model similar in size and concept to the popular 1955-57 models. Enthusiasts were quick to notice that the Chevelle’s 115-inch (2,900 mm) wheelbase was the same as that of the 1955-57 Chevy.
