I'm quite sure the wagon rear doors are a little taller than the 4 door. I think the extra height is in the window framing.

The rear doors from a sedan are physically the same as wagon doors, only that the window frame angles are different...so theoretically they'll fit if you remove and swap window frames. There's many spot welds and a few bead welds IIRC.
You can obviously see (and compare) the difference in the pics between the sedan and wagon.

I removed the window frames from my old doors before I scrapped them....it was a bear to remove.

Nice wagon, and as stated, the door from the beltine down is the same, but sedan rear doors will not fit a wagon.

Here's a comparison pic of the vent glasses to illustrate the differences

So I guess I better be really careful with my wagon doors. I know Pontiac and Chevy G-body sedans and wagons used the same body panels. How about Olds and Buick? The local UPullandPay only has Buick and Olds listed this week.

I'm glad it's going to work out for you, Andreas. I guess what's left is to align and weld the stationwagon window frame to your new sedan door. Looks good, man.

Chev and Pontiac are the same. The body bulges outward at the lower body line.
Buick and Olds are the same. The body tucks inward at the lower body line.
