I don?t know who may have Your dipstick, but my adresslist for Ply Dealers, recovered from this forum over 20 Years, may help finding. Probably, some of them may be closed now:
Monthly Hemmings motor news ( www.hemmings.com) is the most valuable help in finding sources.
Try Andy Bernbaum?s, they have a lot of Mopar stuff! Very fast service and very friendly and reliable people! I never had problems with them in all these years, but others had when sending back unuseful parts.

You can also try Roberts or Pro Antique - got nice, fast service for a feworders placed from both:

The biggest seems to be Kanter, because it was very difficult to get a competent Clerk. Parts for my 1951 were good, minus one pair of too big exentric front end bushings, which would have been taken back by them. They had no advice on correct bushings and I preferred to have them milled down to fit here in Germany

Quote: Bill Ward: ?For whatever it is worth, my opinion is that one of the two best parts suppliers out there is: NEIL RIDDLE - (206) 285-6534 - Neil is a pleasure to work with and often has stuff that nobody else has. He works hard to keep his stock fresh and he always has something new. Neil doesn't have a website but I've never had any problem reaching him by email or by phone.

Tod too stated: As for suspension parts, Rare Parts in Stockton, California is a good bet. If they don't have the spring hanger pins they can make new ones based on your old part. Once they do that they add it to the list of parts they will sell to anyone. Net result is the next guy (or girl) that comes a long and needs the part will be able to get it. Believe it or not, they manufacture and sell the steering drag link for my 1933

I sugest you call them for the exact specs. Frank

I just ordered one from JC Whitney. Take a couple of weeks to get it. I will see if it is right width and length. I have had the original welded a couple of times but it is hard to weld the spring steel.
