Never seen a rear swaybar one of these clamshell wagons before.

[GStage1]

Me either....maybe it is an aftermarket rear bar.

George,
That car have 3rd row seating with shoulder belts?
Same pieces the A-bodies used for rear shoulder belt set-up.
Pretty hard to find.

[GStage1]

Yes, does have 3 row seating....but someone redid the headliner and the front shoulder belts were gone along with the rears.....I did get the black shoulder belts and they will clean up nice....will have them for sale here next week.

Thanks for the tip...much appreciated!

Interested in the 2 vertical weatherstrips along the tail gate window (if theyre as good as on the photo) and the weatherstrip on top of the tail gate.

[GStage1]

The w-strip should be good....was a garage kept car....will be back at the yard next week....email me direct with your parts wanted list....thanks!

Seriously? The same? I have passed more than a few of these before in the Clamshell wagons. What about different year GM wagons from the '70's? 3 seat A-bodies from '68-'72 w/ third row seats? '73 & later A-body wagons with third row seats?

[Steve Craig]

Wagons with second & third row seats had the shoulder belts available as an option. This was right across the GM line up for "A" & "B" bodies '68-'72.
El Camino was another. Seems everything changed for '73.
I can't remember how many salvage yards in the US I called looking for these parts. Big, old , beat up wagons were usually the first to go into the crusher.

I removed the good working 6 way power seat tracks today. I hot wired the rear gate while I was at it, it's down now. The rear glass wouldn't budge. The 3rd seat seat belts are accessible now. The rear is a 3.23 posi which probably won't last long. The rear bar is aftermarket. There is a whole bunch more missing from this car. LKQ prices are quite high as far as u-pull-its go. They are having a 50% off sale this weekend . I quit buying at these local LKQ yards unless it is something I really need or they are having a sale. I go to many different U pull yards in different states and these local LKQ yards here have the highest prices I have seen. They can keep their parts and throw them into the crusher as far as I am concerned.

Wasn't it possible to take off the tail gate window cable from the regulator and use a cordless drill to get it up?
Or won't they let you to take any tools into the yard?

[Junkman]

In that yard, people just bust the glass out.

Someone bought the tailgate and posi carrier w/gears.

George, did you get the rear shoulder belts?
Id love to add them to my car for car seats for the kids.
If you got them or can get them let me know

[GStage1]

I got the last seat belts today...there were no shoulder belts in the car....front or rear.....post a Parts Wanted ad and see what happens.

George, are you sure someone got the gate? While I was there pilfering the p seat track, I hot wired the rear gate and rolled it down so you or someone could get access to the 3rd row seat belts. I tried to hotwire the rear window but it wouldn't budge.
