Mr. Tube...No need to pull the body...

Not so fast Mr. Tube...there are still a few thing you can do without pulling the cab off and checking the engine/frame number. The following is from my frame article. You can still "key" out your frame by checking for the following: 1. Is there or is there not the "upper hole for the Front Fender Bracket" which was added back in August 1929 (See Ford Service Bulletins)? This was deleted about July 1930; 2. Check the Body Bracket on Frame--Front...this bracket "moved to the REAR 2-3/8 inches" about late September, early October 1930 (I believe if this was done, you can only use just one bolt in that area???); Correct, not correct...Anyone? 3. Also around late September, early October 1930, Frame Body Bracket #6 was added. HOWEVER...If the bracket is not there, the frame may or will have center punch marks indicating the location of this bracket; 4. Next, check the running board brackets...These were revised sometime after May 1931 in that the "ribs" on the top of the bracket were increased to prevent breakage". Sorry...no photos...go to my website to view the photos. So see Mr. Tube...no need to pull the body! (Not unless you really want to!) Pluck July saw the removal of the upper hole for the Front Fender Bracket, which was added back in August of 1929. There was also the relocation of the four lower rivet holes for attaching the bottom flange of the Front Cross Member to the Frame Side members (not confirmed). FRAME ASSEMBLY A-5005-D On September 18, 1930, Release Number 17050 Supplement #18 saw the Body Bracket on Frame – Front move to the rear 2-3/8 inches (Fig. 18). Ford decided to “number” the holes in the frame for the “convenience in identifying holes.” The proper numbering of these frame holes can be found in the MARC/MAFCA Restoration Guidelines and Judging Standards. The release also indicated the addition of Frame Assembly A-5005-D. Frame Assembly A-5005-D differed from Frame Assembly, A-5005-C in only one major aspect and that was A-5005-D had the addition of the Frame Body Bracket #6 Body Bolt, A-5076. It was located just in front of the rear running board bracket (Fig. 19) . This frame was assigned to the Standard Fordor Sedan 160-A, the Town Sedan 160-B and the Victoria 190-A. Frames without this bracket may be center punched to show the location. The May 16, 1931, Release Number 19799 specified that the foot of the Running Board Brackets be revised in that ribs be put on each side of the top rivet hole to increase the strength and prevent breakage “as soon as the dies can be made.” Three more cars were added to the list for Frame Assembly A-5005-D in May, 1931. Those were the Deluxe Fordor Sedan, 160-C, the Town Car Delivery 295-A, and the Convertible Sedan 400-A. The frame has also been associated with the Cabriolet 68-C, but was never mentioned in any of the Ford releases that were reviewed. __________________ www.plucks329s.org Walla Walla (WA) Sweet A's MARC/MAFCA member since 1978 Last edited by Steve Plucker; 01-28-2011 at 11:02 AM. |
