[Chrysler300] A thought on clone protection

["Wayne Graefen" <wgraefen@xxxxxxx>]

In '57, '58 and '59 all torsion bars will interchange between all models and body styles of Desoto and Chrysler cars and wagons with the exception of the DS Firesweep models on the Dodge chassis.  

If they aren't rusty or dirt/sand encrusted in the rear mounting, I can jack up two cars and swap the pairs from one car to the other and drive them away in about an hour.

On the F & G  the torsion bars are thicker by about 1/4 inch also longer by about two inches (the rear attach point is moved aft) I think it is impossible to swap bares between  a letter car and a clone downer without a heck of a lot of work.So a simple measurement on the bar dia.Should give a pretty good clue.Dont know if it holds true for all torsion bar cares.But am sure someone in the club would know and also be able to give the exact specks ?
