Answer
Hi Richard , You will have to do some homework on this one ,,, Were the two mouldings the same on both 1/4 panels ...I would try perhaps measuring from a different point..... The 1/4 panels should be the same in height on all the models in 57 ..Try some of the remanufactures of the 1/4 panels and ask them if there are any differences...Google in 1957 Chev quarter panels ..etc  Hope this somewhat helps you and all the best to you and your Chevy....Kim
