wayfarerstranger Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 does anyone know for sure if the the trunk lid from a d24 is the same as a p15 ?? thanx Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 Stuff between Dodge and Plym is very seldom interchangable. The only thing would be the engine (with flywheel attachment modifications) and the trunk handle. But body parts......nah. Dang Dodges were always just a little bit bigger. If you were to find a Canadian Dodge, that would work -- as they are actually the Plymouth body with Dodge trim. Quote
RobertKB Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 Bob is right. Not much interchanges unless it is the Canadian Dodge which I have. Body parts are getting hard to find for these older Mopars unless you are Bob T. who seems to live in a time warp with lots of old Mopars around. Quote
claybill Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 a local street rodder in town had a 40's dodge..and didnt like the trim/ridge that runs along the top of dodges trunk lid....he swapped it out for a plymouth trunk lid for a smoother look. it was a 4dr sedan. bill Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) they will not interchange on my 41 Dodge and P15's coupe or sedan...I have both coupe and sedan on the Dodge and coupe and sedan on the Plymouth somewhere I have a picture I took to show the difference to a forum member long ago..the P15 will fall between the opening on the Dodge and the Dodge lid will hit the other tail light assembly of the P15 when aligned to the opening and laid across the body..

claybill Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 that's clear enough!.......if it doesnt exchange it doesnt exchange! who knows what body work street rodders have to do! b Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) I suppose if you were talented enough as a welder, you could reduce the width and make a Dodge lid fit a Plym. And any other mods to make it work right. Would seem like a lot of trouble for not much. There's an article over on the HAMB by a fellow who took a 51 Chevy fastback, is placing it on a late model chassis of some type, and has actually widened the entire car by about a foot or so. Don't recall the details, but there are pictures and facts in the posts. Edited June 25, 2009 by BobT-47P15 Quote
