Elite Veteran Posts: 1112 Location: Wild Wonderful | I decided to look for a new frame, rather than try and fix the one that I have. Darn rats made a hole in mine. It's for a Firedome. Hopefully I can find one close to WV. Edited by 58DeSoDodge59 2018-11-03 12:04 PM (frame58deso.jpg) Attachments ---------------- frame58deso.jpg (211KB - 105 downloads) | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 7806 Location: Williams California | Hollander's only lists '58 DeSoto Firedome and Fireflite as interchange on the frames. The Chrysler or '57 DeSoto may work, but there are differences in motor mount locations, and possibly a couple body mounts., ---John | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1112 Location: Wild Wonderful | Wow. That's not much to choose from. It looks like I will have to repair this one. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1112 Location: Wild Wonderful | Okay, So since I need to repair this frame, I need a patch. This is the area I need. It needs to be from a big Chrysler or DeSoto, the 126" wheel base. I just need the lower half of that area.

Veteran Posts: 121 | I have a 1957 4-door sedan Chrysler Windsor frame, all intact, looks like it's never been hit. Body is already off it. Located one hour south of Boston. Can send you pics if you like. Ken 401-714-5570 | ||

Expert Posts: 2289 Location: Eastern Iowa | You are about 3 months too late! I had one I couldn't even give away, so mow it's laying in 2' pieces in the scrap pile, and it was solid as a new one. | ||

Expert Posts: 3155 Location: NY & VT | There is, or was, a fairly complete '58 Firedome 2 dr HT in a yard near me, I got chrome parts for Rosy's DeS resto from it a couple years ago. If interested PM me and I can give you their phone #, it's located 1 hr N of Scranton PA more or less. Speaking of which, wonder what happened to Rosy, she was a regular here but kinda vanished about 1 1/2 yrs ago? Edited by firedome 2018-12-27 2:27 PM | ||
