Location: Georgetown Texas | Parting out a '57 Desoto:
Front Core support, very straight, pretty nice overall. Was an A/C car. $90
Inner fenders: Driver side is really nice, passenger side has one small hole, overall very nice. Battery tray section is perfect. $275 for both. (I do not want to ship these, I have had very good luck with U-ship however, and it usually quite a bit cheaper then freight)
1957 (only) steering column and gear: car was low mileage, around 68K, not lots of play in steering, complete column attached. Power steering car of course, $175 for entire column and gear.
Signal seek "brain", this is mounted on passenger side under dash, this is also 1957 only. I do not have the radio, just this brain part of it. Comes with bracket as well that hangs from inner hood hinge. $75. (SOLD)
Front Desoto emblem: Nice shape, no broken screws. $75 for all 3 pieces
Big car (Desoto Firedome, Fireflight, Chrysler Saratoga and New Yorker) front sway bar. Nice shape, will need the hangers, $100
1957 Desoto 341 hemi 4 barrel intake, this was used on Fireflights only. This can be directly bolted onto a Firedome for added horsepower. in nice shape, painted black. $350.
1957-1959 Desoto dual antenna splitter. in nice shape, this runs all the way to the trunk for the dual antenna option. $100
I will post more stuff shortly..
Here are a few photos:

Nathan,
I would compare lower control arms and struds of both cars
If it helps, I know the Ball joints and upper and lower bushings are the same on both cars. So that would lead me to believe they are the same set up.. |

Location: So. Cal | That makes sense as they use the same width of frame. But I wasn't sure about the lower control arms. Thanks for the input. |

Sounds like it will fit. Are you still interested? |

I'm pretty sure the Dodge sway bars are different. The Dodge ones will fit a Plymouth, however.

Would you have the A/C vents for the top of the dash? I'm looking for them for my DeSoto... |

| John was right the Chrysler is a slight bit longer in the front.
if your putting it in a car with a sway bar installed you will need to move the frame mounts like 2 inches forward.
I am bolting my mounts in so I am moving them slightly forward, I wont actually mount them until I get the weight and the car on the ground...
