The sedan delivery has a panel on stands welded in to
replace the back seat. I had 2, but gave one to Dave Dunkly
(rip). I can take a pic and try to send to you, or try to post pic
here. I've never been able to do that before, but it's been a long
time and I know things have changed since then.

I just have the shelf, as my S/D is a Pro-street and back halved.
I'll get a pic of the shelf and see if I can figure out how to post.

Pinto Sedan Delivery?  Wow, things my mother never told me.  I remember them often from my childhood. The wagons and cruise wagons I knew of.  What was the enticement of a sedan delivery over a 2 Dr. wagon (or 4 Dr. for that matter)?  Was it simply that the contents wouldn't break side glass if it moved about? To some extent I see that the contents would be obscure, but there is still visibility through the front/front side and rear window so I doubt that is primary.  Also it would seem a 4 Dr. would make more sense for (side) loading the area just behind the front seat.

There was supposed to be three pic's. I'm excited just to see one.
I've got a million pic's to post, I just never could get it to work. I'll try
for the rest when I get over being excited!!!!!!!!

I did this in my 77 wagon, used the rear seat back hinge so I can lift it up to get to the stereo amp powering the two 10" subs.
