1946 New Yorker steering

[1946 newyorker]

HI there,

I have aquired a 1946 New Yorker & have started a resto on it. The steering column/box & pitman arm are missing. It is a RHD Australian model. I was hoping to get some info on either getting an oiriginal one or a later model replacement as its RHD. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hope you get a good response. As I mentioned on Allpar a lot of smart folks are here including a few from Australia.

Your RHD New Yorker is a very uncommon car........my understanding is that 12-20 Chrysler Windsors were imported into Oz for government use in 1946-48, all were factory RHD, none of the 46-48 Chryslers sold here were TJ Richards assembled, I had one of the 48 Windsors back in the mid 1970's for a couple of years, it had an extra set of taillights installed beside the stock Chrysler set plus another spare set in the trunk so at least 3 cars were here in Oz at some stage.see attached pics, the only 2 I have.................I have seen a 48 New Yorker at the Northern NSW Back To Brunswick Rod Run 3-4 yrs ago but it had a 350 Chev installed, otherwise stock looking...............where do you live?.......I'm in Grafton, NSW.......finding a RHD steering box & column maybe a hard ask..........do you belong to any Oz Chrysler Club?...........I'm in the Chrysler Restorers Club Of Australia, NSW and they may be able to help...........I'm a hotrodder but don't hold that against me........I've had my 1940 Dodge since Sept 1971 and maybe able to suggest some answers to your problem.......give me a call.........I'm retired so home Mon -Sunday and up till 10pm phone 02 6642 5963......Welcome Aboard..........regards Andy Douglas
