Let the boy go !
Crazy!
My overhead door is a 6 or 8” diameter spring. One i salvaged. It should have 2, but i modified everything to make it work. Lowered door, something kept it from closing and side mounted opener kept going and demolished the spring. Fixing that mess was a nightmare. Today, i would be screwed. No spare parts, and no one i would trust to do it right. I would be better off to have the whole works replaced.
I have been dealing with very painful neck/upper back. While chasing down what could be wrong, we found C4-7 discs bulged, cervical stenosis, and this Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. So the pain as well as numbness/tingling in hands, loss of grip, and severe fatigue in arms/shoulders. I used to be able to do the work, now it is exhausting, arms pay for it for days after. Wasn't long ago I could. They say this issue is worsening the neck/back pain due to change in posture and lack of blood flow.
Now.... Where is that Dislike button?????
So, it seems the most common fix is to cut out the top rib. Then there is room, blood flow is fixed as there is room. It isn't surprising the fatigue with 50% of the artery and severe pinching of veins
Got to love those Desotos. I can see the attraction.

@Icetech keeps finding dashboard images of those beasts from the 50s and 60s. Amazing
These days innovating is having a pushbutton starter... like a 1950s Chevy pickup.
The dashes were over the top for sure. Like the odd shaped steering wheels.
Dang, Panthers
This is why we can't have nice things

The '61 chrysler dashes are by far my favorite... i was bout 18 when i saw a '61 windsor rotting away and the dash/cluster was amazing to me
I have a cluster from a 62 saratoga. Its very similar to this. If i recall, the needle is illuminated, and something goes bad with them.
I think I'm giving up on Laysons. I have called them daily for a week and got no answer or a call back. MegaParts has what I need and I know those guys personally. They may be coming to Mopars on the Mississippi and it would save me som shipping on the sill plates. I need to get that turn signal switch ordered and put in so I have working brake lights.
Very Similar to the Speedo set up on my 1960 Corvette......
