Don Coatney Posted September 1, 2015 Report Posted September 1, 2015 Very hard to answer your question as no information was given on what engine, transmission you are using???? Quote
furby714 Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) My mistake I am use the 217 engine and three on the tree Edited September 1, 2015 by furby714 Quote
furby714 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Posted September 2, 2015 Looked into that but still no luck with the driveshaft Quote
casper50 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 If you need a complete driveshaft you will most likely have to find a junkyard or someone selling one used. I doubt that anyone has one lying around in stock. Quote
furby714 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Posted September 2, 2015 That's what everyone been telling me thanks Quote
JerseyHarold Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 Check with local speed shops to see if they know of any driveshaft fabricators in your area. Quote
pflaming Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 Try Texas Loosy's on south beach! LOL. If a 53 Plymouth sedan will work there is one in Fresno. Quote
furby714 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Posted September 2, 2015 Were at in Fresno is this drive shaft. Thanks all for help Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 lets see..53/54 are 114 wheelbase cars....49 can be 111 or 118.5 depending on base chassis...do you happened to know just which length that you going to need? Quote
greg g Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 Is your drive shaft missing? Hard to believe it not repairable. Ujoint repair kits are available and if you don't feel you can tackle the job your self, you can have a shop do the joint for you. Or you can have on made up at shops that specialize in drive lines.

DJ194950 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 If you need a complete drive shaft you can check with: Turlock Auto Wreckers- 209-632-7500 (central Ca.) They have a fairly complete 50 Ply. 4 dr. in their yard. Does it still have the drive shaft? I never checked that. A friend bought the gas tank from it. But, I think i would probably have a new one made for somewhere arround $400?? Don't know Socal pricing. Just a lead for you. DJ (norcal) Quote
furby714 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Posted September 2, 2015 I am missing the complete drive shaft I don't know the length I called up the wrecking yard n they said they would call me back to see if th ey have oneAnother question what would be a good wiring harness I just need 12-14 circuits nothing to fancy or too expecive Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 How about Desert Valley Auto Parts in Phoenix. They say they have some Plymouths in stock much of the time. Quote

furby714 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Posted September 5, 2015 Ran across another problem was taking of the oil pan plug and is kinda stripped need a replacement by tomorrow does anyone know were in oc ie or la I can get one Quote
TodFitch Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 Ran across another problem was taking of the oil pan plug and is kinda stripped need a replacement by tomorrow does anyone know were in oc ie or la I can get one Many years of Mopar used a 7/8-14 plug, Dorman number 090-010 or NAPA BK7041933. Dorman also has an oversized version for pans that have been stripped, number 090-021 (all these are numbers from a few years ago you will want to recheck them). When I went to buy one for myself, I found the local store did not stock them and would only order me a box full for pretty big $$$ so I passed on the opportunity. Quote
furby714 Posted September 6, 2015 Author Report Posted September 6, 2015 Thanks very much will be in the serch tomorrow morning Quote
seabee1950 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Posted September 6, 2015 I had an updated drive shaft made for my 1950 218 Plymouth BC as the original drive line has the boot covers and I think I bought new boots covers then decided to have one made. So I guess I have one for sale but I don't know what its worth and I am not going to be back in AZ till Oct, 1 Quote
