I know the rear doors on a wagon are different from rear doors on a 4dr....

I don't know if the front doors are the same

I have heard that the wagon window frames on the door are taller.

Oh yeah, now that I think about it, that's probably right. Went and dug through my old pictures just now, indeed it is much taller.

Yes Really.....

My friend figured that out the hard way,,,, I think he even had the doors off his 4dr before he realized they REALLY were not going to fit.......

tomorrow I'll check a few other detail stuff out to confirm I'm not missing something. I just went and check real quick and didn't get down to 1/16's or 1/4's but everything I wrote down was pretty consistent.

Is it possible the 68/69 wagons used similar 4dr doors but later ones might not have?

that could be so but I've got nothing to compare to be sure. if I make it to a JY this week, I know of a 72 gOOn there and I'll check and see if they are.

The goon back doors are not rounded like the 4 door, look at the pics of the window frame you can see

Yeah, picture the wagon as a 4 door, with the rear window line the upright. It would be way too straight with the wagon, hence, frames are different. I would lay odds the door is the same other than that. Might be able to pull out the frame, don't remember if they're two piece. I'd probably just try to find a wagon door.

The rear doors are different in the rear frame area. From the belt-line down they are the same. The front doors will interchange but the wagon window frames are about 1/4" taller. Klotz ran into that on his wagon. The wagon that I just sold had an extra set of doors from a 4-dr and they measured about 1/4" shorter than my 2 wagons. So are the the same? Yes and no. Clear as mud, right?

I've upped my standards. Up yours.
