51Ambassador Posted May 14, 2022 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimy Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I have a very good front bumper with irons, original plating (OK for driver), apparently never hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51Ambassador Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpage Posted May 14, 2022 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 by Uptowndodge (see edit history) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
