Well..
I don't know about 64..
But my 72 4 door has the same fenders as the 72 coupe does.
The doors on the wagon fit the 4 door.. (I think... 80% positive..)

So.. The Wagons fenders only interchange with other wagons and other el-caminos fenders only... (I am sure about that from 70-72.. mybe 64 is diffrent)

Hope this helps.

Chad;

I've got a 64 two door wagon and here is what I believe to be the situation.

It seems that the hinges are different between the 64 and 65's. As a result, where the hinge bolts to the door is different. This means that you can't use 65 doors.

Check out doors from a 64 4 door sedan.

Another thing that may be of interest; when I got my wagon, the front end body work was trash. I managed to locate a 65 front clip (fenders, hood, grill, etc) and installed it. You have to do the complete swap and can't just use one of the items!

Watch out, the rear doors have a more angular window frame compared to the 4-dr. (which is slightly more rounded). You could probably swap the window frames & glass if you are prepared to disassemble the doors & swap the window frames & glass. Just be aware that there is a slight difference.
