Hi all,
I would like to know is there a difference between the length of a FE station sedan lower tailgate limit straps/irons and a FE panel van tailgate limit straps/irons?

Thanks
Darren

Darren,

1957 master parts catalog says wagon and van end gate limits are the same; but the ones for utes carry a different part number.

Reason being Ute's are non captive to allow for complete lowering of endgate for level loading as with no bumperettes or external tailgate handle to get in the way as on wagon / van
Do have to be careful of towbars though
