modified original steering column.
-
homemade flat plate adapter fastened to 525 box and an additional spacer needed to fill impression for original isolator/steering gear.
-
283 chevy and yes I needed to use spacers so I chose those ones with the set screws for a little extra security.

I mounted a gm 525 manual steering box onto my 41 plymouth with stock suspension. 41 plymouth pitman arm fit right on. I don’t know how that would work for your poly install. Also 41 frame is a little different at the box location than a 48. Not much but enough that a template of my adapter wouldn’t be a direct fit on yours.

harb--- freight has cable cutting pliers that work good for copper cable. I think I only paid $6.99 for 'em.

this is a pic from ebay but is what came on a '46 -'48. The letters are different on '41 & '42. Hope this helps

The wheel steering is correct for that car. It is the DeLuxe model desoto. The Custom is the top model and has a different steering wheel,some other odds and ends ,and most noticeably trim around the side windows. The DeLuxe is the lower model but in my opinion does not make it worthless as s-11 DeSoto coupes aren't all over the place and especially in that condition. Just my 2 cents.

not anal is my vote. The last thing you want to see is rust stains bleeding through a beautiful new headliner. That is, of course, if they had any rust on them. By the way , that car is looking great.

Will do , Thanks

No ride yet. Sorry. Stuffing from my seats was getting robbed by critters . Found where they took that stuff. It was in the muffler/ tailpipes. After a couple tries I did get it started and had smoldering fuzz balls come out . Wow what a smell. The next nicer day that I can get to it its going for a dash up the road and back .

Itching for my test drive. I have another steering wheel repainted and ready to replace this one after I recheck things and make other adjustments. Threw the old seat back in too. Hopefully a report back on the steering box job real soon. I have my license plate and insurance. This Saturday is the plan .

What front clip to use in my 48 coupe??
junkers72 replied to Busted_Knuckles's topic in P15-D24 Forum
Search plymouth Adams builds. I looked at a thread of his where he put a Dakota clip into a p15. If that's the route your thinking of going it's worth a read. -
I'm in the same situation with my 41 2dr sedan. It appeared to me when I got to cleaning up that area of the car that there was a rubber strip hanging down about 1" to 1 1/2" from between the door and the lower door panel. It sealed against the aluminum sill that retained the rubber floor mat. Rubber glue on seal was on the door front to rear from lower front corner, over the top to lower rear corner,but not any trace of that type along the bottom.

Merry Christmas uglysteve. If the weather stays workable I can put my column back in for good and take it for a test ride. Will definitely let you know how it works out. Pics to follow soon
-
Sorry, didn't get to road test it yet. Had a few other minor snags . Nothing related to the steering. The steering box and linkage are buttoned up. Had to replace the leaky off shore brake distribution block and fix a couple other odds and ends.
