Re: [FWDLK] 56 TorqueFlite parts

[Dave Homstad <dhomstad@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Johnnie,

What vehicle are you planning to use this in?

Most 57 and at least for a few years after TF pushbutton (5 buttons) 
clusters will fit a 56. The tricky part is the buttons and cover plate.

Some late 56 Chryslers and Imperials had TFs. These will have a smooth 
coverplate. Dodge trucks from 57 - 59 with TFs will also work, and the 
coverplate has the same horizontal bars as the 56 Dodge PF. Since 
Plymouth didn't use a square coverplate, you will have to machine 
something.

You can also continue to use the original PF button cluster. Only 
difference is there will be no #1 button to prevent upshifts into 2nd.

For additional info on a TF conversion in a 56 Mopar, consult my web 
site at:
