1521201 is for 1932 Chrysler/Dodge/DeSoto

Don't have a listing for the 9816 (1539816) but that series of numbers is generally used for late 40's & early 50's applications

Likewise no lookup for 9816; might it be 9616 which was used in the many makes of trucks that used the Hercules W307 engine, also 1949-50 Kaiser & Frazer (those models w/o the vacuum reserve tank)?

#4 somekind of taper lock, maybe for kingpins ?
No idea of year. Really just a guess . . .
Packard 385

This part looks like the one in the picture on Packard Information. Is it only for the 120?

Any ideas on this one? Does the cast number match the part number?


Any ideas on the the other parts?

The last 2 are the steering idler arm support from the Clipper-style front suspension. I suspect it's the earlier style (pre 1950?) because at some point the greaseable screw-thread joint was replaced by a simple rubber bushing. It might be original but could also be an aftermarket piece as the later rubber-bushed units didn't give the greatest service life and Moog and others did a brisk business with replacements with a greaseable joint.

As to the first picture, the senior cars also used the center link steering geometry but I can't tell if this is for a junior, a senior, or if they were different but the parts listing will tell you if they shared the same part#.

With regard to the numbers on the parts, just look them up in the master parts listing - if they are not listed they are almost certainly casting or forging numbers which are often only a few digits away from a finished part number. Often a single raw forging or casting would have been used to make multiple finished part numbers.

OD,

Thank you again.

What a day sorting parts!

Part identifying is hard enough without part numbers, but then there are parts like this one. It has a clearly readable part number, even has the group number.

I looked multiple times in the 1948-1954 parts manual, the 55-56 book as well. No luck.

I went through the service technical bulletins, and then the service counselors, starting with 1954 and going backwards.

OD, I found this one!

I guess putting theses numbers in an updated parts book was something just not high priority. The fact that the group number was listed made me think it was in a parts book some where.

Those old counter/parts guys got a work out.
