Default "Heavy" frame? Please educate me

I'm running a WANTED ad right now for a frame to put under my '35 coupe. Mine is so butchered I want to start fresh. I got a response from a Barner that has a "heavy" frame -- .010 thicker thru the outside rails -- built by Ford to go under woodies, open cars and trucks.


I've never heard of these.


I built a '38 woodie back in the 90's and my foggy memory recalled something about the cross tie pieces between the outside rails and the X that was different. But I don't recall hearing anything about a "heavy" frame before


Thanks.
