Imperial was a D body in 66 at least. I have material from 66 that explains that. It probably went from 60-66 as the Imperial was still body on frame when Chrysler went to unibody. Imperial went to unibody in 67.

Official body designations by Chrysler were an incremental thing. The first one being the A-body starting in 1960. B-body started in 1964. C-body started in 1965. E-body started in 1970.

Generally people call the compacts A-bodies, the mid-sized cars B-bodies and the full sized cars C-bodies, regardless of the years. Some people call Imperials Y-bodies.

The 300 F and G are based on the New Yorker, a C body. What I said of the vacuum can location is true to my knowledge. I did not opine on other similarities or differences. If you know me to be wrong in this instance please advise specifically.

i don’t think 60-61 are C bodies ; for one thing F and G exhaust manifold is center dump , c body goes up over starter . We have to be careful what we put up . You will see many things like headers etc start applicability only after 62 . Also steering box changes to K frame mount somewhere in there , after 62 —I do not profess to know post 62 , but i do know stuff sold for c body does not fit f or g , and probably h too . Worth sorting out reality on this .. ???

For 60 and 61 at minimum on all C body with power brakes, there is always a vacuum can under the battery on junior cars and under the fender on seniors. GM big cars of the same period used the tanks under the floor...where few knew, and road abuse made quick work of them.

those vacuum tanks under the driver fender rust like crazy , you get a small hole , = manifold vacuum leak !! You can adjust the rams till your hands fall off will not idle right . Obvious in retrospect , caused me 6 months of total frustration on my very first F . Never knew it was even there , —I sure do now!

Maybe someone removed it a long time ago ? Also, I found out my G had a vacuum tank under the drivers side fender that I didn’t know existed ! No wonder I could never get a good brake pedal.

The tank gets moved. It's required for the power brakes to work. Here is a car with Auto Pilot where you can see the tank.

Hi Y'all...hope everyone had a great Bird Day!!

My 300D is equipped with factory Auto-Pilot. I see from 300D's without this option what appears to be a vacuum tank on the driver's side fender. I have holes in my fender where this unit would probably mount. My question in was this canister eliminated on those with Auto-Pilot or is mine missing? An underhood picture of a similarly equipped D would be super...but I'll take any verbal info out there!

Many thanks
