The front end on my 35 Desoto 4 door Airstream is shot and I need to stub it. Fatman Fabrications SAID they sell a Mustang II front stub. However, even though 1935-whatever Desoto is listed on their website, they do NOT sell a front stub for my 35 Desoto. Can I take the front end off another vehicle and easily put that on or what? I know this is a make that people have not used that frequently, but I wanted to put it out there anyways.

In terms of other mopars of 35 this is what I’ve heard. The Chrysler is longer, the Plymouth is shorter, the Dodge is the same WB but I don't know if the mount locations etc. are the same. the 36 Dodge frame is the same measurement but is shaped differently. the 35 Airflow is 1/2 inch different. generally speaking, most all 4dr, 2dr, and coupes will fit. The Airstream models had their own design of frame. That narrows it down to either a Chrysler or DeSoto Airstream. But the Chryslers had a longer wheelbase. So, a DeSoto Airstream frame is the only one that will fit.


So I’m not sure if anyone out there has ever put a new stub on a Desoto or not. Interested in hearing what people have done.
