I am wondering if anyone knows specifically what the differences are on the rear valances for the 1959 Chevy wagons/El Camino's as compared to the cars Anyone have info on this? I have a banged up set from a sedan and they are close but not correct. it looks like I could modify and it would be nice to see what is needed at the end. Any pictures and/or dimensions would be appreciated.

just in case some one else wants to see how it can be done.. not for every one, but will look a lot better than nothing. made a little tool to do the flange. the key was finding the smashed up one to use as a reference. basically reshape the 2 main openings to make them larger, take ~1/2" out of the rear face in the slot and keep the overall width about the same. drop me a PM if you want additional information to give it a try. the regular car valances are a lot easier to come by that the Wagon / El Camino ones. here is the link to the rest of the car http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=628480
