Re: {Chrysler 300} Re: Can someone do me a favor over the next few days... 1963-1964 Torsion Bars



check the part numbers in the parts book for the sub frames and compare them between years.
I believe the 63 & 64 Chryslers all, except the Imperial of course,  had the same wheelbase as the front sheet metal will interchange between them all.
compare front crash parts between the models as well.
The 60-61 Chrysler New Yorker & 300 did indeed share &  have a longer wheelbase than the Newports.

Are New Yorkers long
Wheel base cars?
They have a totally different sub frame then
The shorter 122" sub frames.

Well,

 

Learn something new every day.

 

Turns out that the New Yorkers uses a different length torsion bar. Which means they used a different sub frame.

 

I thought the different part number in the master parts book was due to a different diameter. But it is both different in diameter and length. All the other front-end parts are the same according to the master Parts Book.

 

Seems odd. The New Yorker bars are 44 inches long while the Newport and 300 are 40.

 

I guess I will eBay them at some point as they are of little use to me.

 

Thanks all for the measurements.

Hi Jamie,

 

I am scratching my head. I will have to check the bars up at the house this weekend. I could have sworn that I measured them, and they were 44 inches long. Those bars cam out of a 1964 Chrysler New Yorker.

 

Is it possible that the New Yorker and the 300 used different length bars? Or was there a change to the subframe in 1964 from 1963 and the bars are longer?

 

I will also have to get under the 300K here in San Francisco on the cold wet concrete and see if I can get an in-car measurement. 

 

Jamie, can you take a caliper and get me a very exacting OD on the 607 bar?

 

Thanks, James

If anyone has a set of torsion bars out and accessible for a 1963-1964 Chrysler, can you measure the length and note the bar number?

 

I have a paperwork conundrum. I have a set that came out of a 1964 New Yorker, and I thought I measured them, and they are 44 inches long. But my paperwork here in San Francisco says that the bars for a1963 300J, and presumable the 1964 300K, are 40 inches long. Hence the conundrum.

 

Also, I am still hunting for a set of 606-607 bars and if anyone has a set, they will sell please let me know.
