RE: [Chrysler300] Need parts for 1957 Chrysler 300C

["John McAdams" <clafong@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ray:

 

I see that there were quite a few responses to your inquiry about the A/C
5-6 blade fans.  I cannot help you with that.

 

However, as for the lower shock mount plate, I am not absolutely sure that
the newer replacement plates are ?concourse correct? but Mancini Racing
sells the plates (as a set, both right with left and not cheap) as well as a
replacement stud.  See:

http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/lespshpl.html

 

They should work fine as I believe your 1957 rear axle housing is the same 3
inch diameter as most later 8 ¾ inch MOPAR housings.  I do not know what
thread is on the replacement Mancini stud.  I guess you just might have to
either call and ask (good luck there) or take your chances and buy one. 

 

Good Luck in any case,

Hello All --

In the midst of restoring my late father's 1957 Chrysler 300C, I find that I
need the items shown below; I've struck out at half a dozen of the major
Mopar salvage yards - they either don't have the parts or sound like they
don't really want to mess with finding/removing them!

FAN FOR A/C CAR: Six blades, 18" diameter, large 1.875" hole in
center, held to fan clutch by four 5/16" bolts on 3.25" centers. I
believe these fans were also supplied on the big-hemi Chryslers, Imperials
and DeSotos in 1957 & 1958 WITH FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING ONLY. (most
non-A/C cars did not have a fan clutch and therefore had no big hole in the
center.)

RIGHT REAR LOWER SHOCK ABSORBER MOUNTING PLATE WITH STUD: This is the heavy
steel plate under the leaf spring(s) which is held in place by the two
U-bolts over the axle. Part No. 1820438 is stamped on the lower surface.
My shock mounting stud broke off upon removing the nut. I believe this same
part would also be found on 1957-1958 Chryslers, Imperials and DeSotos. If
you can safely remove just the stud (with nuts)from the plate (either left
or right side), that stud part is actually all I need. 

Thanks for any help.
