Extreme Veteran Posts: 480 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.

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9650 Location: So. Cal | Are the Dodge and Chrysler sway bars different? If so, how? I was hoping to swap a big body Chrysler bar on my Dodge. | ||

So that would lead me to believe they are the same set up.. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9650 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. | ||

I was hoping to swap a big body Chrysler bar on my Dodge. I'm pretty sure the Dodge sway bars are different. The Dodge ones will fit a Plymouth, however. ---John | ||

Expert Posts: 1737 Location: Hay Lakes, Alberta, Canada | Ryan, Would you have the A/C vents for the top of the dash? I'm looking for them for my DeSoto... | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 5006 | 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...

Elite Veteran Posts: 963 Location: San Antonio, TX | Do you have these on this car? According to Ed Petrus not all of them had them. Supports for the mesh grille. I have 2 57's, one had them, one did not. (supports1.JPG) (supports2.JPG) Attachments ---------------- supports1.JPG (164KB - 115 downloads) supports2.JPG (138KB - 133 downloads) | ||
