1932/33 Chassis Differences?
 

Hello chaps,
Searching for some information detail here.
The 1932 chassis frame rails had the well known swage line and the central K-member. What changes were made for the 1933 model?
Swage line? K-member? Anything else?
A diagram of the 1933 chassis frame would be great.
Hoping ...
Neil.

Just a few I know of, the 33 had no swage line, had a longer wheelbase and had an X inner frame instead of a K member.
You can go to Wescott's web page and see a blue print diagram of both frames.http://www.wescottsauto.com/

American Ford or British Ford?

Excluding the powertrain, except for the brake drums, backing plates, and some other brake system and suspension parts, and there are no carryover '32 chassis parts employed in a '33 chassis. This assumes your question pertains to the 112" wheelbase '33 chassis and not the 106" wheelbase '33 Model 14 chassis.
