Over in the grocery getter forum I was looking for insight into swapping out rockers. I was planning on using two from a four door. Couple of responses thought it should work. Was wondering if any one has a four door they would be willing to measure. My wagons are 691\2" long. The measurement was taken at the metal crease that is parallel to the vertical door edge back to the wheel well opening. I believe it does extend behind the fender.

You should know before doing this that Fury wagons have a 122" wheelbase while the 2 and 4 doors have a 120" wheelbase.

Yes the wheel base is longer, but back to the original question can a member measure a four doors rockers from the same point and post the measurement. The doors are interchangeable because a four door has already been a donner for the passenger frt. Fenders are also interchangeable so I guess where is the additional 2 inches in length gained structurely? Maybe additional measurements from the rear of the torsion bar x member to the floor pan x member pcs could be of help
