I read and answered your "newbie" post before I saw this thread and now see that you have made progress more than I suspected.

One thing you will often find in this hobby is conflicting information.

Rider gives your chassis as 22A3. I've found that usually:

Factory manuals are the best.
Rider manuals are the next best.
Sams have the most errors, but also have the most pictures.

Per the Rider index:
Model C2226 carried chassis 22A3
while
Model C2226Z carried chassis 22A3Z

The schematic index can be used to predict which other model might carry a usable chassis.

Probably any 21 inch 1954 Admiral chassis with these numbers could be used: 22A3, 22A3Z, 22A3AZ, 22B3, 22B3Z, 22B3AZ, 22C2 late, 22E2 late, 22F2 late, 22F2Z, 22M2 late, 22N2, 22P2 late, and 22R2 late. They are all the wired the same, but have minor revisions.
