Can a 1955 Chrysler Vacuum brake tank be used on a 1958 Plymouth Belvedere, I have a chance
To buy one, it has a great chrome finish and it looks great!

Trick question: A North American 55 Chrysler (and Dodge and Desoto) used a different power brake system (Bendix) than what you are showing so I don't know what you have. But there is a good chance that the chrome one would work. (MAYBE)

1955 NAmerican Chrysler:

Looks similar to my 56 Dodge vacuum tank too. The issue will be the size and location of the "feet"/brackets on the two tanks. That is assuming you have to have the bling.

From a functional standpoint a vacuum reservoir is a vacuum reservoir - they are all interchangeable to some degree.

Variations that would need to be considered are:

Volume - obviously a significantly smaller tank would not be able to supply the required volume of "not air" to effectively operate the brake booster.

Fitting size - not only do you want your hoses to be able to connect, you don't want the fittings to create a restriction.

Other than that, if the volume is appropriate (too big is fine) and the fittings don't present a concern, if you can mount it and connect it, it will work.

The only operational component is the check valve, and all check valves are the same - flows one way, doesn't flow the other.
