    The door panels on my Ranch Wagon are long gone. I have a chance to get a used set from a 2 dr. sedan to use as templates. As I understand it the door panels are the same but I'm wandering how close the rear panels would be? I know that the wagon doesn't have window window cranks so the sedan panels have holes for the cranks. Other than that anyone have an idea how close they might be? My wagon is in the body shop so I can't measure it at the moment. TIA.

    jamb side will give you a start - but top, bottom and rear curvature will need to be cut. Holes mean nothing - you cover them all up. You could be better making your own pattern...I didnt have anything either - but its not that difficult to use butcher paper to make a pattern.

    The 2 dr sedan panels will be templates but not just how close the panels for the rear area behind the door will be. The holes in the sedan rear panels are not an issue just not sure about the rest of the fit.

    56_Ford_Wagon-42.jpg Rear Door Panels - The bottom of the 4 door rear door are shaped - rounded corners with holes for clips, etc. Our panels are flat on the bottom - flat on the jam - straight down the jam to the floor - then the rear is curved to fit around the wheel View attachment 5980528 well - the 4-door model opens with the door - so is shaped differently.
