Wagons and 4-doors are not boxed, only El Caminos and Convertibles have boxed frames.

Wagons, 4-doors, and El Caminos are 4" longer in the middle than coupe/convert frames

Wagons and El Caminos are 6-1/4" longer in the rear, and the rear of the frame is shaped different (flat instead of curving up at the rear)

They are the same from 68-72, so this will have all the same dimensions...
