marcapra Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) I need four C-clamps to hold my drive shaft and u-joints to the car. They are curved pieces of metal with holes on each side for the bolts. see pic Marc, marcapra@msn.com Edited April 13, 2019 by marcapra (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wldavis Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Marc, Try AMS Obsolete in Fairmount, GA. Go to their website and send them an email or call. They probably have these parts if they are stock MOPAR pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcapra Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Still looking for these C-clamps pictured above. Does anyone know where I can find a yard parting out DeSotos and Chryslers of the late 40s or early 50s? Marc 9513311941. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcapra Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 Thanks, Curti, I will try French Lake tomorrow. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcapra Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 Called French Lake, MN and they said they have two DeSotos, 1946 and 1948. He knew what C-clamps are and will call me back in a few days to let me know more. So thanks Curti again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 The last time I was out there, they had 14,000 cars before 1980. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcapra Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 I wonder if there are any California yards like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcapra Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Thanks Kurt! I'm starting to lose faith in the French Lake yard. I called them a couple of weeks ago and never heard back from them, so I called again yesterday. The clerk on the phone said he had no record that I'd called, and asked me who I talked to. I said he didn't tell me his name, so I had to make the request all over again. The first guy said they had two DeSotos of my vintage in a yard with 15,000 cars. But I don't think a request for C-clamps is going to get anyone excited there. Considering all the work you would have to do to check on that. The cars don't have any wheels, so you would need a fork lift tractor to check. Who's going to do that just for C-clamps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
