Hi, Does anyone know if a windshield from a 1957 Chevy Bel Air will fit into a 1957 Pontiac Super Chief? Dave
Not for sure, but I'd be inclined to say yes on the windshield. Gas tank, no idea. Do you have access to a Hollander interchange manual? That would give you the info you're looking for, if nobody here can give you a definate answer. Sorry, not much help.
The W/S rubber we used to sell was for Chevy a Pontiac. Gas tank might fit but the fill tube will be different. Check the Tanks web site.
Anything will fit if you really want it to. No, the tank is not a direct swap. While some of the body is the same they are very different underneath.
on the windshield, chevy hardtop gl*** fits pontiac hardtop, chevy sedan gl*** fits pontiac sedan fuel tanks are different
I am looking at replacing the fuel tank in my 57 Star Chief, and have done some research, but not sure of difference if any with the Super Chief, which has a shorter frame. CPR sells a somewhat generic steel tank to fit Pontiac/Buick/Olds of that era, and also sells on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333941498918 The 53-54 Chevy tank is close but not the same, likely need custom straps and filler neck mods, may lose a gallon or so. It is available in stainless and there are some variations on filler neck location and tank depth out there. One example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/331484558830 I would check dimensions carefully with your existing tank.
Hi. Thank everyone for the input. I really appreciate. Sounds like the Chevy windshield is a swap but don't risk the tank. Got it.
Many years ago I read an article that said the only difference between a 59 Chevy, Olds, Pontiac, Buick and a Cadillac windshield was the price.
Well........quick question based upon your name. It's not a Canadian Pontiac is it? If it is, the were basically Chevy's underneath also.
Maybe one of these would work. If not, contact them and see if they have one that would. https://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=results/category_id=133/mode=cat/cat133.htm
Here is a chart for the Chevy windshields. I may be able to use my Hollander Book and see give me a little time
Ok from what I can tell from my 30th edition Hollander the answer is yes. The numbers match. I am listing both tri five Pontiac /and Chevy models and numbers.
This is a very good question. The USA spec Pontiac and the Canadian spec Pontiac are entirely different cars, with the Canadian versions sharing a lot more with the Chevrolet than the US ones. If your car is a Canada-only market Pontiac, the tank may be the same. Unlikely the filler neck itself would be but the tank might be.
