Turns out we did in fact have a 9-pass wagon, in which the tank was not available.

This was a couple years ago, not sure now.

AS far as belts ... I plan one fabing brackets to accommodate.
I'm gonna use the 6-passenger station wagon stuff.
the cargo floor center with tire well and the gas tank are both available from the station wagon--I've got a '57 150 wagon too.
Interestingly, the 9-passenger wagons had different rear brake drums than all the other models. And the 6-passenger had 5-leaf leaf springs, and I think the 9 had more leaves than that, while the regular cars all had 4-leaf springs.
