51Ambassador Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 Looking for a complete 47 Desoto front sheet metal, hood, fenders, etc also need a rear seat for a 2dr sedan or coupe. If you don't have one maybe you know of a salvage yard?

Grimy Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 I have a very good front bumper with irons, original plating (OK for driver), apparently never hit.
51Ambassador Posted May 14, 2022 Author Posted May 14, 2022 The car has a Dodge frontend on it. I don't like how the tire is close to the front wheel opening because the Desoto has a longer wheelbase. That is the reason I am looking for a Desoto frontend. I already have the Desoto bumpers, thanks
jpage Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 Do you know if the front end is the same for '46,47.48? I have a neighbor who has a Desoto coupe in that year range but I can't remember exactly the year. It's a complete car and looks to be in good condition, being garage stored for many years but needs restoration.

jpage Posted May 16, 2022 Posted May 16, 2022 I'll check, although it may be a few days until I can get back to you. Where are you located, I am in west central PA.
51Ambassador Posted May 16, 2022 Author Posted May 16, 2022 Arizona but can get anything shipped here.

Keiser, you my friend still amaze me with your Mopar knowledge that is second to none that’s why I always called you the Top Dogg of this site. Trust me that’s a compliment Edited July 13, 2023 by Uptowndodge (see edit history) 2 1
lostcause Posted November 20, 2023 Posted November 20, 2023 I have a 48 parts car that has an ok front clip if you still need one.
