  Hey ,That would be great. I'm not in a real big hurry for it beings that its so hard to find one
around here. I live in Dos Palos Ca. NW of Fresno. My tank is all rusted inside and rusted out on
a top corner. If I had it dipped & cleaned there probably wouldn't be much left of it.
  So mr. Fred, what will it cost me?  TY  John

very basicly the wagon is different in every way, the sedan hatch or trunk exchange alot of parts. except for the hatch or trunk. go with fred for the tank he is alot closer to you and will treat you well. a good source for interchang info is  Mitchell collision and estimating guide  domestic  Ford Lincon mercury i picked up mine on ebay for about $6 with shipping.  mine is a 1982 edition but covers pintos all the way. giving you the part numbers for better cross referance.  but you can always ask here and some will know if it interchanges from experience.
