Im trying to change a passenger side door on a 51 desoto custom 4 dr...I have everything loose and cant figure out how to remove the metal slide that only allows the door to pen so far... I see a pin on the out side that dont seem to come loose and inside the door it has a piece of rubber that slides on a piece of metal have you removed these before?

You can buy that entire puller set for less than 20 at Harbor Freight

BTW Allbiz 49 I have been to the turlock auction in fact I sold a mustang there...but thanks for the heads up as I prob will stop over there and see what I can come up Also that Fomoso meet is god March meet...

That 39 is very nice....From what I'm seeing on parts etc you must have over 20k in that car...very nice job on the restore:)

I live in Clovis CA closer to Tollhouse CA...I am going t update my profile...also look into this Desoto club ..I was unaware, just started this prooject even though I have owned this desoto since early 80's...Thanks for the reply and info

wHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO PURCHASE WEATHER STRIPPING FOR 51 DESOTO CUSTOM

I am trying to replace the oil seal behind the rear bearing on a 51 desoto custom...I see a small bolt for oil inspection I assume as that is what it is on the blowup of the rearr end..Also Iam confused as to whether the rear bearing is greased like the front bearings or oiled from the 90 weight oil like most others? there is a seal on the backing plate and the manual calls the other behind the bearing an oil wassher?

OIC I didnt realize they even made a 6v alternator That might be an option ill consider...How hard was it to convert to negative grd?

Sam I noticed you have an alternator....did you step the voltage dn from a 12 v alternator to the 6 v battery?

First, Iwant to thank you guys and the comments on this forum. I did buy the cd shop manual for the car and will use it accordingly ...and yes Im with you on the need for a manual...I'm an HVAC instructor and I tell my students if you screw up a 30.00 part because you didnt know what your doing you could had bought the manual:) So now I need to ask you mopar experts another question ...I just purchased a new wiring haress for the 51 desoto as the existing was ate up by rats. If you were restoring and trying to keep it as stock as possible would you wire it in as 12v negative ground or stick with the 6v positive ground?

Question for all you Mopar guys...I'm just starting to restore this 51 desoto and the masrer cylinder was leaking. While I was removing it, I found a brake light switch bolted to the master cylinder with a makeshift plate and when i ordered a new one it was a hydraulic switch? Which one was original equipment on the 51 and does someone have a pic of how it installs as mine has two holes in the end which looks like front and back?
