Are wagon doors different?

[poconos_power]

So, I have my 68 coronet wagon now, finally getting a chance to dig into it, and I'm thinking of things like what to do about the cat whiskers for the doors, I have one door with a bad window regulator, etc. I thought I read somewhere that the doors on the 68 wagon were not the same as the doors on the 68 4dr car. Is this true? Do I need to worry about finding specific regulators and whiskers? Thanks!

For the whiskers, seals, and weatherstripping on my early B wagons, I used restorationspecialties.com - they knew their stuff and I was very happy with them.

Rear doors are different; front doors are the same.

Check your Factory Service Manual.

The Coronet and the Satellite station wagon used the same rear doors ‘68–‘70. In this pic of two ‘68 Satellites, you can see the 4 door had matching body lines for the rear door. Same for the ‘68 Coronet 4 door. The wagons had a smooth skin for both car lines.

Ah interesting to see the comparison. So it's looking like it's close. I wonder how much of the 4 door whiskers can just be used on the wagon for the rear doors. Seems like it should be quite a bit. Luckily my door skins are good so that's not a concern!

Thanks! I do not have one yet. This is perfect.

The length of the doors are the same. The wagons have a different frame and glass.

Yes.

Wagons have square cornered window frames vs a 4 door sedan's rounded frames.

That can be changed but a fair amount of skilled work is involved.

Oh I have intention of changing it (besides I don't have the skill even if I wanted). I'm just trying to kick my habit of immediately ordering parts that are wrong before doing my research.
