For the guys that have wagons or had wagons....is there a way to stock floor my wagon? I want to body drop it but I am 6'4" and I dont want to lose leg or headroom. Any pics of wagons body dropped and or pics w/ wagons notched in the rear to lay frame.

Check out my wagon in my profile. Kind of a different setup than you have but the notch will be the same.

when i had mine i had it all planed out to just channel it and drop the body mounts. you would still notch it adjust yoor rear trailing arms remove fenders etc etc and might need cowl to clear hood

YOU CAN NOT STOCK FLOOR A WAGON CUZ THE FLOOR PAN HANGS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE JUST AS LOW AS THE FRAME

well with the caprices you have to remember the mounts are on the top of the frame. the frame itself is pretty short. the only way to do it would be to raise the motor and cut the bottom off,z the front of the frame, remake lower link mounting points, raise the rear foot well pans(about 1/2 inch from the ground if your just laing frame. basically its a ton of work. im 6 foot so im in the middle of a traditional bodydrop and i will just get shorter seats. it can be done but its a lot of work, probley better off pulling the body off and cutting it off at the firewall and building all new for the rest

Yeah, I think I will just c-notch the rear and extend trailing arms, etc.. I want it to lay out, but I dont want to get rid of my back seat. Thanks for all the info guys..

You need to step the rear not just a notch.The wagon frames are different in the back than a sedan. To get it to lay on 20's you will also need to redo the trans tunnel. On mine I also raised the floor 2.5 inches over the gas tank so it won't drag.
