knuckleharley Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Any local NAPA store should have a good selection of them in various sizes. Measure the slot in the axle and it will be easy to get the right size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andydodge Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 They should be 3/8th square.....get a piece of keyway about 12" long for a few spares............andyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution TodFitch Posted September 18, 2013 Solution Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Looks like they used part number 1118149 from 1936 through at least 1948 for that drive shaft key. Is that the same one for the P23? Part 600238 was the number for the '33 Plymouth models which was 5/16" square by 2 1/4" long. Does anyone have the exact measurements for part 1118149 so I can update the description in my database? (Confirm Andy's 3/8" dimension and supply length.) Thanks!
