Roger,
The
answers are yes and no, yes and no, and maybe.
According
to the Parts List bible, in 56, Plymouth had 4 different part numbers for this
part, depending on 6 or 8 cylinder, and with manual trans or PowerFlite. Two of
these PNs are the same as all 55s and these 2 are the same for all 55 and 56
Dodges. Two of these PNs are unique to 56 Plymouth.
I don’t
recall if you need to pull the steering column. The pad is probably slotted so
it can be installed after the column is in place. Parts of the column are
larger than the diameter at the floor and would be difficult pass through this
pad.
If you
send me your model, engine type, steering type, and trans type, I can give you
the PN and interchange.
I seen to
recall somebody selling repros on eBay on rare occasions.

Subject: [FWDLK] steering column
boot
On the '56
Plymouth, is the rubber boot at the base of the steering column different on a
PS and manual car?
Interchange
with Dodge?
Do you have
to pull the steering column to replace it?
