[jyinger]

Will rear leaf springs from the same year sedan work on a convertible? 

My project car is a 1951 Chrysler Imperial convertible

 

Thanks

if you have parts book for this car then it should answer your question. If someone has a parts book they might beable to provide the answer to your question.

The Auto Interchange Systems 1950-1965 Chrysler Interchange Manual I have shows 51-52 Saratoga and 50-54 Crown Imperial use the same springs........no brakedown re the body style so I would think the listing is purely model/series based...............hope this helps...........andyd

Thanks a.d.  So, apparently, all models use the dame springs?  That's encouraging.

Just had another look at this interchange manual................is your car a CROWN IMPERIAL or just an IMPERIAL?.......which one?...............how wide are the springs that are currently on the car?.........1 & 3/4" or 2" wide?................I may have given you a bum steer...........what width are your springs?...................andyd

145" WB Crown Imperial springs are too stiff for his 131" WB "Imperial" convert.
