Michael,
I'm not much help here...your requests are so general...Obviously you
need a set of seats for the 56 Dodge. They should not be too difficult to
locate in a wrecking yard. Neil Freman probably has the greatest number of
Mopars in his yards in Whitehall Montana. Some people have had trouble with
him, but I think it is because Neil doesnt tolerate belligerent customers.
He advertises in Hemmings Motor News...get a copy at a large newsstand or
bookstore.
Interior fabrics can be gotten thru sMS Fabrics in Portland Oregon,
just one example. Another very good if not better source is Original Auto
Upholstery in Michigan. I have all these addresses in my files for you, if
you go on and buy the car. For The small interior and exterior trim pieces I
would first try Len Dawson out here in Anacortes, WA. First get the car and
a copy of Hemmings and do some reading. We are all out here to help a new
old Mopar owner. Roger
