3rd row seat in 61-64 wagon

[68-biscayne]

New guy here reporting......

Big reader of the 348-409 posts. Great information here. Next project will be a 348 4speed wagon. I need a 3 seat wagon, but the majority I find are 2 seaters. How difficult is it to (or is it possible to) change a 2 seater to a 3 seater? I haven't had a chance to look up close on them to compare the two cargo bays. Another thought.....how about a 2dr 58-60 wagon with a 3rd row seat?

Thanks in advance for the info!!

Kentt-

A friend of mine just converted his wagon over to a third row seat and was very painless. The only thing you need are the seats and the brackets, which bolt in.

Maybe this is what you're looking for, found it on Craigslist.

Good to know. The one on Craigslist looks nice--just a little pricey.
Thanks,

Would one from a Olds or Pontiac full size wagon work also?

That's an idea. I've got a 62 Pontiac 9 passenger wagon going to waste. The seats, glass, roof, etc., all look the same as our 61 Parkwood. I bet that 3rd seat is identical.

Yep. The seat is the same. Also, all true 3rd row wagons came with the little wagon step pads on the rear bumper as well.
