      The torsion bar set up in the tail gate is to help with the weight of the tail gate when closing it. It does not have a stop set-up when letting the tail gate down, that is what the cable is for. I have lots of wagon parts including the license plate light cover.

        I've read the rear doors are slightly different sedan vs. Wagon, but does anyone know if the door cards are the same? Or is the overall shape very different?

          I'm pretty sure the only difference is in the upper frame and glass.

          I have sedan door cards waiting to go in my wagon and I didn't notice any difference in shape. Now I'm going to have to check, of course...

            It makes the most sense that the cards would be the same from a production cost stand point. But these things don't always make sense!

              The door cards are the same from sedan to wagon. Did you look for the axle code? WagonMan

                Thanks for the confirmation. I'm stuck at work, I'll check it this afternoon.

                  Tow package doesn't neccesarily mean it had a hitch. Its just a package, the hitch is something you'd have to add beyond that. The sure tell is whether its got a transmission and power steering cooler in front of the radiator. If you have a long loop of steel tube and a teeny cute trans cooler up under the air intake area, its a tow package car. They also came with 3.55 limited slip rears and dual exhaust.

                    +1 I like woody wagons, but adding woody to a non is a lot of pain.

                      Guys, constantly telling me you think it’s a lot of work is not going to make me change my mind, this Wagon is going to have woodgrain.

                              If you're all in for it, go for it. The point is that you know that it's going to take a lot of work to do that. It's not that we're against it.

                                Both mine have broken cables. I rarely use the truck type let down anyway so not a big deal for me. But it did dent the woody trim on the 90 under the prior ownership.

                                Your Ford emblem can be replaced by a newer one on the same size. I think mine came off mid 90's Taurus trunk lid. The holes are the same but the newer design holds up better than the two peice thing on there originally.

                                Still look for the trans cooler. I am surely not the only person in the world to own a 3.08 tow package car (mine was single exhaust too). Although I haven't found another yet...

                                I wanted a wood wagon when I got my 88. I now like the woodless better. If it's a garage queen, woodgrain is okay. But to drive, woodgrain ages not too well. The replacement stuff is not very good so I hear, even the 3M di noc stuff.
