My son and I have been rebuilding the front suspension on his '66 Imperial. It is time to install the torsion bars and I was looking at the 1966 FSM for the procedure. There is a diagram that specifically calls out for Imperial. However, I have questions as there are parts shown that are not present on his car. Specifically the seat for the adjusting bolt (which was not present on either side) as well as the representation of the cross member which is different in this car. Am I missing something or is the FSM diagram for a different model, even though it clearly states Imperial.
'66 Imperial Torsion Bar Install

You might also look in prior model year Imperial factory service manuals. I suspect the Imperial items will go back to 1957?
You might also download the 1966 Chrysler Parts Manual, too. There should be an expanded view of the complete front suspension in there.
Just some thoughts,

YES! The FSM has it WRONG! It's been 45 years since I had the job done but I remember I had to tell the shop that the manual was wrong!

That looks like the assemblies out of the convertible I parted.

These are out of the ‘66 convertible.
Those bolt seats are what is missing. Now the search begins.
Why would someone leave those off?
