Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado		Im looking through the Front end parts manual (linked at the end of the post) and i see the part numbers changed for the T-bars in 59. Do they interchange with the 57/58? do any of them offer a thicker t-bar over the 956/57 bars for the plymouth/dodge bodied cars? I'd love to compile the info on these.

Location: Under the X in Texas		Can't speak for Dodge Plym. But can tell you the '59 Chrysler 300E bar is a DIFFERENT LENGTH than the bar for the 300C and 300D. Surprised me because the three years are VERY similar cars underneath. So am guessing the '59 bar you are looking at is also different length.

Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado		Ok, if thats the case then the bars are different all around as the chrysler bars and dodge/ply are the same part numbers. So they consolidated T-bars in 59, which makes more sense than making 2 lengths of bars. Thank you sir!

Location: So. Cal		Also be aware that the leaf springs changed from '57 to '58-'59. Why, I'm not sure, but the '58-'59 springs are longer.

Location: Ontario, Canada		The "hex" dimensions of Chrysler bars are larger than Dodge bars. It is not just the length.
