Hi Ron, I found these part number for the 3 different shims in my '63 Chrysler part book. I am not sure how many years they used these exact parts. As I understand it, the amount of end play desired will determine how many shims are used and I don't think every car would have the same number of shims. Maybe someone can advise.

Also, am I correct in assuming that these will fit 57-9 ?
