I have the '57 repair manual, the '57 trim and sealant manual, and the '53-57 body parts manual. Oddly, none of these show any breakdowns in front of the firewall. Is there another parts book that would show front end assembly components and there respective pn's?
the front body[firewall forward] of the 57, is in the chassis parts book
Ah...thanks for the info. I figured it had to be in something I didn't have.

Gary...I checked e-bay for a souce on the chassis manual and even the larger dealers with everything on cd don't have it listed (I found it to '56). If you have it could you look up the core support main mounting bolt for a ford p.n. for me? I'd sure appreciate it. I can use a replacement shoulder bolt if necessary, or have mine refinished but my first choice would be a nos replacement since it's such an unusual style bolt. Thanks Rich

it took some digging but here is what i found.the early55/56/57 parts book says p/n 359845S.the later ford issue 49/60 parts book lists p/n 359832S and lists the same bolt 57 to 59.but these are canadian parts books so i hope the numbers are the same.
Thanks Gary I appreciate the info...I'll start checking with nos dealers Rich
