I haven't taken both out to look, but I assume they can be swapped. The part number is different however. Different ratio maybe? Part # for 77 wagon is 53040-663-672, and for 78 1200 is 53040-634-673

I believe the rack is the same.

Anyone? the beam I can fix, but I'd like to use the steering rack from my 1200 if possible.

ah crap. Oh well. Looks like down time for the wagon. How about the steering rack?

They are different.The wagon support beam has a additional mount that the 1200 does not have.Also the bolt configuration is different.I have modified a wagon support beam to fit a 1200 so It could be made to work from 1200 to wagon but will require some cutting/drilling and welding.

Can I use the rear engine support beam (the one that always rusts out) and the steering rack from my 78 1200 on my 77 wagon? I know the parts #'s are different, but I don't see why they couldn't be swapped.
