Wagon doors.

Does anybody know if the rear doors of a 65 Polara wagon are the same as sedan doors?

You know, I would have bet that they were the same, but the part numbers are different. (65 Parts Book - page 23-312).

Not sure about Dodge wagons but the Chrysler T&C rear doors have different window frames and door glass than a sedan.

That would be my luck...

Now . . . IF you have some decent fab skills, the bottom part of the door could well be the same as the 4-drs, but the top part of the door is where the difference will be. THAT part of the door is spot-welded to the bottom part of the door shell AND could be swapped out, then re-welded to the door structure, plus changing out the glass/regulator assy.

Remember, too, that all C-body station wagons are on a 122" wheelbase, same as the normal Dodge C-body cars of that time. Plymouth was shorter and Chrysler was longer, in the wheelbase area.

See if you can find a salvage yard with a Hollander Interchange Manual for your model year. That should tell you what fits or what CAN fit (with a few mods).

Enjoy!

Thanks.

As luck would have it, the top of the door above the door handle is where my problem is. Repair by previous owner is coming undone. I was hoping for a bolt on solution but I think this one can be rescued.
