I've tried searching for this and am getting no where. I am trying to piece together an 11 tooth desoto grille and am curious if anyone has a list of all the part numbers of the individual teeth. I have a 9 tooth grille and pan, but I have changed my mind and decided to go with the 11. I only need two more teeth and would like to know which part numbers I'm looking for. If anyone can help, that would be great. Thanks!
here are some I came up with but this is not a complete list R #4 (1346789) R #2 (1346759) R #5 (1456846) R #6 (1456902) could have Aor B after # L #2 (1346772) and the extension with the light is LEFT EXT (1346794) and the stone shield is (1346833) hope this helps. I am still trying to find some more numbers as well.
What year DeSoto? Some guy in Australia is reproing the complete grille for a 52 DeSoto in aluminum. Found him a year ago with a web search but did not save the address.
Here is the list I was able to compile for the '51-'52 9 tooth grille w/ park lights. Numbers go from LH(drivers side) to RH(pass. side). 1346792LH (park light) 1346790 8911 1346773 8909 1346760 8907 1346758 8905 (center) 1346759 8906 1346772 8908 1346789 8910 1346791RH (park light)
thanks that will help me out as well to organize all the teeth I have collected. I will be home in a few to check on them for you
Thanks John. When I get home tonight I will post the list of all the numbers I have for the '53 11 tooth grille.
Thanks man and then I will search for the need number when I get home as well. I just wish I could get home as fast as you. lol
Ok so here is the list of teeth I have so far to make up the '53 11 tooth grille. I have ten total so far. John when you find me the one I need we can add the number to the list. 1456908 (outside drivers side) 1456847 1346790 8911 1346773 8909 1346760 8907 1346758 8905 (center) 1346759 8906 1346772 8908 1346789 8910 ? 1456902 (outside pass. side)
I have part #s for 1951 and 52 only. In the parts list they are called "grille bars". Listed in Group 14.
Ok so I finally was able to get the last tooth for my '53 desoto grille, thanks fast59desoto. So I thought I would post up a complete list for anyone else trying to piece one together. 1456908 (outside drivers side) 1456847 1346790 8911 1346773 8909 1346760 8907 1346758 8905 (center) 1346759 8906 1346772 8908 1346789 8910 1456846 1456902 (outside pass. side)
WTF ?? 1952 -- 1955 ?? Love it when they don't specify, maybe he don't know or care WTF teeth he gets.
I and putting one together also. I bought a batch of teeth from a guy and this will help a ton! I know its missing at least one tooth but there may be some duplicates I could trade for the one(s) I need. Who has a stash of mismatch or extra 53 Desoto grille parts?
