Are you near Portland, Oregon? I can point you in the right direction if you are.

Re: rear bumper
I'm also looking for a rear wagon bumper and front bumper strip!

Re: rear bumper
This place had a caprice wagon when I was there a couple weeks back. I am not positive of year but it was with the late 70's early 80's B-Body's so it might be worth the call or email.

There's part of a NOS front bumper strip on EBAY for $89.95. It looks like it was cut off to use the outside portion from the bumper impact strip so probably not much help, but if you randomly only need 3/4 of a strip it will do the trick.

Re: rear bumper
Here's one... I think the rear wagon bumpers are the same as 4 doors and coupes, but not positive...

I was going to buy this one, but I need a perfect rechromed or NOS one. This one doesn't quite fit the bill for me, but it is very nice.
By the way, Welcome to the Forum!

Re: rear bumper
thanks solo79, but the wagons have the license plate in the bumper, the sedans do not.
