'59 Plymouth Forum

Did you ever find bumpers for your car? I have some really nice ones. No dents on front and no straightening marks on the rear. A front and rear that were on a car, and were found at an old dealership. I need to put my hands on all of them to look them over again. A front close to NOS, has some deep...

OK. Thank you. I will check into it.

All of my hood bumpers are missing down the sides of the fenders where the hood closes. Gary Goers Catalog 10 shows number 16 on page 25 to be the right hood side bumpers. Is that correct? My car has never had them since I have had it. I have never ordered from Gary Goers, and remember some posts in...

Ok, thanks for the information.

Mark,

I am just getting back with you as per requested in your message. I am still interested in the parts that I asked about.

Thank You

Hello, What are the differences between driveshafts for a powerflite versus torqueflite transmission car with a 318 powered car? Is it just the length, or are the u joints on the front end to the transmission different as well? I am assuming they probably are, but will ask here. I have a 59 torquefl...

Mark,

I will try to get in touch with you around April 10th. One piece I am specifically looking for is the longest quarter panel side trim for the drivers side, but will check for others.

Thank You
Tim Baker

Hello,

Do you still have any of the side trim, or front or rear trim? Do you have a set of the hood bumpers or any door seals?

Thank You
Tim Baker

I have a 59 parts book, and will look to see what is listed for torque converters. Will there be any numbers or identification to tell which one is which ? I do not remember seeing any, but it has been quite awhile since I looked at them. The 59 transmission I will be using came out of a Desoto, can...

I am getting closer to changing my powerflite over to a torqueflite in my 59 Sport Fury. I have two torqueflite transmissions. The one I will use was originally behind a 361, and is a 59 transmission. The other is a different year, but is a close year, and was behind a 318. The kick down linkage is ...

I am asking a question here due to something I read in a wanted post about brakes on a 59 Plymouth. I have a 59 Sport Fury convertible with 48,xxx actual miles. It has always stopped straight, with no pulling to one side or the other ever. The only thing I have noticed is that sometimes there is a h...

I am having problems signing up on the Forward Look, so will ask my question here for now. I have a 55 Plymouth Belvedere V8 with overdrive. The overdrive works properly when engaging it, but when you try to disengage the overdrive, it will not. You must turn the engine off, let the car roll just a ...

I was not able to search the forum, as it would not let me type in anything. I am looking for someone who repairs tube radios. My 59 Plymouth radio works fine, but I have 55 Belvedere with the 6 volt system. I have not looked into it yet, and need to check the basic things like the incoming power, b...

I really wanted to keep the original oil canister setup, and did finally solve the problem with the oil leak. Using the NAPA Gold filter 1076, the block gasket supplied with this filter is garbage. I used some commercial grade fiber gasket material that was about the same thickness, maybe slightly t...

The NAPA Gold 1076 filter, I am using, is the same one that was in it before I took it apart. It was not leaking a drop before I took it apart. You can tell even in the picture you posted from the parts book, that the sealing surface is flat, yet it is on a bit of an angle, and then the edge falls a...
