Location: So. Cal | Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware that these were different from '57 to '58. So I went out and checked my cars to see what's different between them. The only difference I can find between the radiator yoke is that the '58 has threaded holes for the horn mounts so that the bolts attach from the front, whereas the '57 has through holes to insert the mounting bolts from the rear. Other than that, they are identical. There are also some differences in the locations of pop-outs (circular metal tabs that can be removed for various options), but I found pop-out location differences even between '58 Firedome to '58 Fireflite, so I don't think I would consider that as being substantial.
For the upper crossbar, I couldn't find any difference between '57 Chrysler and '58 Desoto. the only difference I could see is that the '58 DeSoto put some large coned washers under the hood bumpers. But those are removeable, so I don't see any difference to the part itself. But the '58 New Yorker/Saratoga has 4 threaded connections along the front of it to mount the grill brackets to it. So the Chrysler ones are indeed different.
