Awesome, Thanks!!!

Anyone have the frame dimensions for a '51 or'52 Plymouth I could use to compare to the '56? None of my manuals show the dimensions. Thanks!

No need. I would've said the same. 😊

I appreciate the sentiment- but it's not as solid as it looks. The rust issues are quite extensive- I plan to salvage as many parts as I can for my solid '56, including doors, trim, steering wheel, bumpers, etc. It is weird how it rusted- it sat under a tarp in the Sierras for 40 years...the whole back of the wagon is corrosion but the front is OK. the floors are gone, but the rockers are solid, including the original aluminum step plates. Once I get all I can from it, I will drag it down to Turner's Auto Wrecking where it will hopefully supply parts for others.

I've been trying to come up with a way to use the '56 277 Poly V8 that came in my parts wagon in my '52 Suburban build. I realize that a number of modifications will need to happen if I just transplant the V8 where the old flat 6 lived, such as dealing with the steering column, motor location, mounts, etc. I've looked at both chassis, and the wheel width is almost exactly the same- but the '52 has a 111" wheelbase vs. a 115" wheelbase for the '52. It seems the frame width near the front body mounts are close- within an inch or two. Anyone try this swap?

I believe that only original wheels will take the original hubcaps. I went through 14 wheels when I was doing the '40 woodie to find 4 usable ones. I would take them down to my cousin's tire shop and he would spin check them for true. Here is what my current project (15") wheels look like:

Progress update: I was able to contact the PO and retrieve the tailgate piece that fits over the back window. He's way up in the Sierras, and left it on his cabin deck, where my wife and I made an 8 hour day trip and found it. We timed it well, as there were no fires burning nearby that day and the air was pretty clear. Got it home and it fit perfectly. Now I can roll up the back window, and cover it for the upcoming winter. I will need to install the fuzzy moulding where the window rolls up into the roof- any suggestions as to suppliers?

Great guy. His name is Steve Rotholz and he is located in Selma CA. He loves NOS and stock parts and probably has another 6,000 items at his warehouse. His phone is (559) 352-1407. Leave a message if you call.
