Station wagon specific parts?
« on: July 02, 2014, 08:18:38 PM »
Can anyone point out a post here or tell me what are wagon only parts, and more importantly where to get them?
Obvious ones are the gas tank(from what I read here), headliner, and tail lights.
If it matters I have a 74.
Thanks,
Russ

Thanks. I hadn't realized that the rear suspension would be different.
all the other stuff so far makes sense.

rear springs - longer and handle more weight - not much more!

Shiny stuff? What's that? :P
right now I am not even sure what this thing is supposed to have. Between being a wagon and a 74, I am just about totally lost.  :-[

Longer travel in rear end of wagon to be able to load vehicle with more weight. Rear shocks are different too. Fronts same as other.

I know on my '80 hatchback the rear bumper mounting is different than my Sedandelivery, but the bunpers themselves are interchangable .

The rear shocks for sure are different length. I do not know if the shock rate is altered also.  Being cheap like I am I have altered a "regular" shock and it works well on my wagon (regardless, do at your own risk).

  I simply use spaces at the top and bottom to compensate for 1-1/2" (max you can get) of the 2" extra length that the wagon shock has.  This keeps the shock "centered" and frankly I have never had a situation where I have noticed them bottoming out.  The wagon rear shocks are harder to find (though available) and typically cost more. The picture shows the spacer on the bottom, but I have one on the top too. In fact, if you have a bunch of shock washers stacking them will accomplish the same thing.

A good alternative for wagon rear shocks are Late 70's Pontiac Firechicken. Also available as a coil over and adjustable. Length is right.

Any more specific years/model of Firebird (and I assume Camaro too)?

Firebird shocks have a tie bar upper mount & stud lower. They won't work. Try a set of these on sedan shocks.

If you gotta, you can cut the top off and weld on other, I did on my '80 when I couldn't find shocks for it. I've even rewelded bottoms but much riskier since sealed shock body there, you need a welder with patience to do it correctly.

I am pretty sure that the doors are different on wagons- at least in the area of the window frames.
