yes easily. The E brake cable & band assembly can be removed from the back of the trans. Disconnect speedo cable, E- brake, cooler lines and shift cable(s). A factory service manual will be very helpful. Don't know if the MY MOPPAR website goes back that far or not. Could also try the old car manual project and as previously mentioned the Forward Look site wink

Oh, the later 70's Mopars (B & F bodies) have great disc brakes for that conversion. AAJ kits have issues from what I've heard.

I have a HUGE soft spot for a late 50s / early 60s Chrysler , Dodge / Desoto fin car .
I would love to own one someday . Not sure that will ever happen, but one can dream .

The car that hooked me on station wagons was my folks 1959 Sierra Spectator. Front and rear air, 383. 3 seater. Memories from fall, 1958,when we all went to Parrish and Clark Dodge to pick it up. Was like a party event!

383 and front and rear air, That would be a rare car even back then.

Nice, Wagonmaster! That's a cool picture; what year was it taken? What is the truck behind their wagon?

I am going to say 1961. That is me on the horse, and I rode Roany [the horse] in '61. That was our last Ford truck, a 1957. Orchard pond fishing. Didn't get much better. Our cattle ranch NE of Claremore, Ok. The good life!

I am surprised your car doesn't have the oval steering wheel, or was that Plymouth only? I recall one of those around town when I was a kid, a D500 badge on the trunk if I remember correctly.

Loved that first ad, could do without the "moon, June" poetry in the narrative.

When I was a kid, 12/13, and walking to school a neighbor had a '59 Plymouth Sport Fury convertible on his front lawn for sale. Everyday I got a little bolder. It had everything, swing out seats, oval steering wheel. Finally, I did it, I opened the hood; there it was, a dual four barrel, Golden Commando. I think it was $1200.00.

My 1st wife's grandmother had a '59 Dodge Coronet , I want to say a 500 but I'm not sure, two tone pink. Very cool car to cruise around in. Hers had developed rust over the headlight eyebrows. When she she died, the family was insistent on selling it , despite my lobbying to hang on to it.

Those things look a mile long with all the trim and fins on them.

Nice car!

Still have the riv. Drove it to the Wooster swap meet last weekend. Stopped by Mel’s on the way back, but he wasn’t around.
Haven’t talked to Jeff in awhile. Going to have to give him a call. Whatever he builds for you ought to run strong.
