Re: IML: brake drum

[Brooks Harkey <vm.dude@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jan,

I believe I've read several times from the '55 owners that there was a design "flaw"(?) (we'll call it a "feature" :-) ) with the '55, where you must remove the windshield first in order to remove the dash.

Hi

I was thinking about getting the driveshaft that is advertised in the  WPC
News, anyone used one?  Also, I removed the dash pad in my 1955 sedan and
had to really tweak one side of it badly to get it out. Is there an easy, or
good, way to remove it, and reinstall it?

Thanks

Hi guys,
Do you have an interchange manual for the 55 imperial?
 If so what other cars used the same shocks and
u-joints?  I need part numbers that can be used by the
modern parts people.
Thank you,

Dennis;
The swap between the '51 Imperial and the '54
Windsor won't work, according to the interchange
manual.  You'd have to stick with a drum from a
Windsor or Saratoga thru early '55.  The Imperials
and Chrysler and DeSoto wagons used the large
chassis suspension pieces which means bigger hubs.
