STAYGOLD Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Another piece saved from the scrap yard, this fairly heavy die-cast piece of molding or trim of some sort. By design, it looks to me to be from the mid to late 1950's, possibly even the early 1960's. Cast with part number 1860787 and it appears it might be for the left-hand side of the vehicle. I'm not up to speed on my Mopar stuff, and I don't have any parts catalogs to reference. No idea where it even fits on the vehicle. Any help would be great. Thanks.

keiser31 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Numbers starting with 186XXXX are for a 1960 Dodge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STAYGOLD Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 Thanks for the info...I'll see what I can come up with searching pictures. I just noticed the shorter end on the piece is finished - the longer section looks like it has a piece of trim or molding that covers it slightly.

The 55er Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Part no. 1860787 fits a 1959 DeSoto. It's called a Lower Rear Quarter Moulding which is somewhat misleading. I'm guessing it goes on the very rear top fin tip above the upper round taillight. There's another moulding that goes over the top of the fin and this is the one underneath. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 55er Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 That one took some digging, it was only shown in a MoPar Collision Parts list book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Want to know the best way to clean that part up? Soak it in Evaporust for a day. It will take all the corrosion off and a light rinse and a very gentle rub over with a small brush like a tooth brush, you won't even have to polish it, just wipe the water spots off. Nice part is it cleans the back as well so the whole thing is clean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STAYGOLD Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 Thanks everyone for their input and the help on identifying this. Looks like a NOS part, very clean underneath the layer of dust. Doesn't appear to have ever been installed. One more piece off the "unidentified shelf". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
