Thanks. I will check with him.

I am looking for a 1937-39 Mopar overdrive, or more specifically T86A-1 transmission with R6 overdrive preferably from a 1939 DeSoto or 1939 Chrysler C22 Royal with the electric overdrive. I will however consider any other non-fluid drive overdrive 3-speed with top cover that was originally bolted to a 6-cyl Chrysler, Dodge, DeSoto or Plymouth. We would like to add overdrive to a 1938 Dodge D10 so we can cruise with today's traffic.

That’s very helpful, thanks. The assemblies I have (both right side) are like your assembly on the left of in the photo. All the truck sets I have seen have had a straight rod after the 90 degree bend, not a U-bend gooseneck shape.

The transmission application for a T86-1P is 1937 Chrysler Royal and Imperial with overdrive and 1937 DeSoto wit overdrive. But the transmission should be similar to 1936-38 applications. 1939 used an electric solenoid on the overdrive unit.

Thanks, that would be super helpful. i just have a 1938 car parts book here so I am not able to match much else at the moment. No worries on missed parts inventory... seems to be the way things go for me lately... oh well indeed. numbers I was able to find, but I suspect include the bracket and the rod: visor swing arm assembly: right 712807 visor swing arm assembly: left 712808

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't think there was a difference, but I haven't actually had one to try. Do you know if all the convertible ones might be the same angle? or if the 46-48 might have differences from the 1935-39 ones?

I might be able to help with convertible top information...

Thanks for the heads up. I will try to look for more info on these.

Very nice coupe! I'm jealous... I'm in Winnipeg with a pair of '38 Chryslers...

I am looking for the diver's side chrome 3-mounting screw bracket for the sun visor off a 1936-1939 Mopar convertible. I am missing this piece for my 1938 Chrysler convertible. I only need the bracket as I have the visor rod. Here's a picture of the passenger side for a 1938 convertible. i need a bracket that is a mirror image to this one.

I am looking for the following parts for a 1938 Chrysler Imperial convertible coupe (C19): - Complete front seat assembly, including adjusters/slides, or very detailed photographs and dimensions of same from someone's car. The seat appears to be the same on 1937 and 1938 Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto and Chrysler convertible coupes, possibly 1939 Plymouth convertible coupe as well. My car is missing the entire front seat assembly, so any leads or information, pictures and or dimensions would be appreciated; - Rumble seat bottom cushion assembly (or detailed dimensions and photos as mine is missing); (same possible donor cars as above). I had a reproduction made, but if an original pops up, I am interested. - Rumble seat interior panel patterns; (same possible donor cars as above) - Coupe or convertible Left Side stainless steel door and rear body trim (I am missing the rear body piece from the door to the tail along the quarter panel, as well as the door). Chrysler C18 Royal or C19 Imperial coupe or convertible coupe trim works; - Running Board stainless trim, top strips and side molding (any 1938 Chrysler Imperial C19 trim should fit); - Horn button/horn ring spring(s) and washers and contact plates for the optional 1938 banjo/chrome spoke steering wheel (same wheel as Dodge/Desoto/Chrysler) (I believe that the springs and contacts are the same as the regular steering wheel - I would be interested in a complete standard steering wheel assembly if need be); - Passenger door window regulator assembly, including window channels, window frame, etc (or a complete door) same on 1937 and 1938 Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler, and '37-'39 Plymouth convertible coupes with one piece glass (no vent window). - Interior sun visor and rod/mounting bracket for the driver's side, as well as a pattern or dimensions for the visors themselves. - Pattern of the windshield header trim panel (where sun visors mount) or detailed photos of what it should look like. Please send me a private message with any leads or details, or reply directly to this thread.

I have started looking into the WPC club. My dad had been a member for some time in the 80's-90's. I also realized that I haven't checked here for a while either. My projects have stalled for a while and I'm trying to get things rolling again.

I realize this is an old topic, but I'm still looking for any tips on this topic.

Yes. That place has been hit up and personally visited a few times over the years. I've also tried Fat Fender Relics, and they didn't have anything either. You are correct. it has rolled under edges for the clips. I like the idea of forming from a strip that has the right curve for the body, that's probably the best way to approach this.

This is a formed stainless strip moulding. Making it out of chromed solid brass would probably be the "easiest" but the shine would differ between it and the door trim that it continues from. And making all new trim out of solid stock would probably be crazy expensive. I have considered the bead roller forming method. It would have to be a multi step process to get the right triple peaked profile. The trim is only about 5/8" wide. Getting the proper gentle curve and twist along the rear body line would be challenging. I might try the welding multiple straight sections together and gently forming the shape.
