Ron,

Please post that to the list for everyone to read.  I was not aware
the wagons may be longer.

Thanks,
Wayne

Hi Wayne -

There may be a problem with this, in that the wagon
torsion bars may be thicker, but they are also longer
than the sedan bars. I discovered this when I swapped
the frames on my 59 Dodge. I had to move the rear
torsion bar mounts back several inches in order to mount
the thicker bars, which I believe are the same for wagon
as for convertible.  Fortunately, there were holes in
the frame that allow the rear mounts to be moved back to
the correct location.  It may be worth verifying this by
part number.

Ron
