dvanecek Posted June 15, 2008 Report Posted June 15, 2008 Ok so I'm building a 47 dodge coupe. Will a desoto or chrysler front clip fit? if so what all do I need. The wheel bases are longer on those model even the coupes. so I don't know if the cowl-core support measurement are the same. So has anyone done this. Quote
B-Watson Posted June 15, 2008 Report Posted June 15, 2008 If you are working on a Dodge, only a Dodge front clip will work. The 1941-48 Dodge had a 119½" wheelbase while the DeSoto and Chrysler Royal/Windsor had a 121½" wheelbase. The extra 2" is all in the engine compartment between the cowl and front axle. If you had a Chrysler, you could place a DeSoto snoot on it (and vice-versa) as they had the same wheelbase. Bill Vancouver, BC Quote
