broker-len Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I have a 31 plymouth ,,can I ask you why you want to know,,,what are you doing bobnroman@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest monc440 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 broker-len,I want to know what axle width will fit like a stock one. The rear axle I have under it looks like a Mopar axle but it looks like one form the 50's looks real wide. I don't have a stock axle but I have a bunch of old axles and need to find one that fits like the stock one. So since I do not have a stock one to measure I thought I would ask.Also looking for some body parts driver door, grill shell.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WindDancerCal Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Monc,I just Bought a 31 plymouth PA 4 door Sedan and I need that info also as the car I have purchased is in Oregon state and I am Here In Las Vegas NV. I cant go get the car till My college Classes at CSN are done at the end of the Term. I am looking into putting a Corvette C4 Independent (dana 44) rear Using a Kit from Flat Out Engineering. I had a 56 Chevy truck with Flat outs, front and Rear Corvette Bracket kits Welded on and It is Completely the Best MOD i have ever done. Made that old truck Drive like the 2002 Zr1 Vette that My Ex wife Stole from me in My divorce. (may she rot in hell LMAO)If you find out what the Proper Wheel track is Please Let me Know.I also need to buy a Flying lady Rad cap as my car is missing one. Ill keep an eye out for parts for you. NV Desert is good for Non Rusty spares.Let me know what state you are in.Thanks a Lot~CAL~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I have used the C-4 suspensions well although I used the stock C-4 crossmember in the front. This is far better that any Mustang II set up I have ever worked with.I have used the coil over brackets from FO and they fit and work well.Dont tell us that you are going to cut up a restorable car or you will **** off the guys that hang out here.

Guest WindDancerCal Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Thanks for the tip Jack!I actually Grew Up in a Ford Model A Family! I would consider on an A to hack the frame But this Is Not a Ford "A." Ford As are common but this 31 Plymouth PA is a Rare car. I intend on Building a From Scratch frame Using 84 to 86 Corvette suspension. I used to have a 56 chevy pickup that I did that conversion with a Flat out Engineering kit. I had Both front and back. It made my old truck ride and act like the 2002 Vette I had before The ex.....The original Frame and parts for the 31 PA will be stored at my dads in Nor cal under cover. That way if I want to put the car Concourse I can. I have done many cars original But this time I am building a Driver For me Not anyone else. I intend to put my favorite Engine a Dodge Cummins 12 valve from a 93 Dually along with the 5 speed and a Gear Vendors overdrive With a Dana 44 out back on this one.I am hoping to get about or over 30mpg with all the Power I could ever want.Anyway. I bought my car from a Lady in Oregon.Thanks again Jack!Nice meeting you and conversing with you.To ALL I Do Not Hack up Valuable old Cars. The cars that I have built as Rods Have always started out as someones Parts car that was going to be crushed With basic body and nothing else or just a Pomona Swap body. I Personally Believe that these old Cars are a Treasure, that should Be Preserved. My 31 PLY PA Is missing an engine, and transmission. I would Be interested in talking to Anyone Who has an original PA engine / trans for sale that is right Serial numbers and not frozen solid. My car was bought from a Widow It has sat in a Garage or metal Building for About 40 years. I am fortunate to Have such a treasure and am happy to have a Plymouth instead of the 30 Ford model A that I was looking to buy.~Martin~~WindDancerCal~BTW you can Call Me the "Chief"Spent 23 years active duty NavyI saw your "Captain" in the house~~Laughing~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest monc440 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 If no one posts the width in the next few weeks I will know soon as I'm going to pick up a Plymouth in NY in about two weeks. I'm in Michigan AKA the land of salt and rust.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) OK Chief, No, not Navy.But I will enlighten all.Years ago when I started racing the dirt tracks I was an outboard motor and stern drive mechanic. We had an old Chrysler that had painted some green and red stripes to indicate port and starboard.The tow rig had the name of the boat yard on the doors the marina was my sponsor.I had befriended the track announcer and everybody loved that old Mopar as I was racing in sea of Camaros and Novas. It became known as the Tuna Clipper. One day the announcer was imperssed by some move I made and blurted out that the captain of that vessel had just dodged a bullet. Somehow that stuck and years later I am still known as the captain in my racing circles and beyond. (it would seem that I am captain of my local pool team as well, hence 'in the house') Well I bought the Marina from the previous owner, made a career of that and have long since retired. Funny how some things stick with you.Off subject, so sorry if anybody is mad at me for rambling on another guys thread.

Guest monc440 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 The rumble seat should NOT be mohair. They never put mohair back there.
