Everything forward of the windshield is the same as any 2 door version. The floor pans will be mostly the same but the holes for the front seat may be further forward. Structurally, the floor pans should be the same. The frame rails are the same front and rear, the suspension is too. From my experience, what is specific to 4 doors and wagons are the windshield and roof, rear window, doors and the fact that you have a B pillar between the front and rear doors. The wiring will be similar but there will be wires to the rear door jambs to activate the dome light.

Be aware that the rear wheel well sheet metal is also different.

How so? I'm not saying you are wrong, but I have a 67 belvedere 4 door that the inner and outer wheel wells were the same as a 2 door. Inner wheel wells are the same across the board on dodge and plymouth B bodies from 66-70....except the convertible which has a cap that goes onto a cut standard wheel well. They may have changed the outers from 2-4 door on the 68-70's but I wouldn't know why....they weren't worried about stuffing the max amount of tire under there....they were worried about cost vs sell price and making a new stamping was counterproductive to keeping tooling costs and manufacturing complexity down.

KD has it correct, except that the front seat holes are in the same location as the 2 door floor pan holes. They made any adjustments in the placement of the bolts through the tracks to move the seat forward, but they went through the same holes and support brackets as the 2 door. The outer rockers are slightly different due to the provision for the B pillar....but could be made to work with slight modifications. Firewall, front inner and outer hinge panels, upper and lower cowl, rear footwells, rear seat pan, trunk floor and trunk dropoffs are all the same. Not sure on the trunk hinge brackets due to a different dutchman.

4 doors are often overlooked, but are goldmines. The best part is that price points are lower because most people don't want a 4 door and don't realize how much interchanges.
