Bare Rails ID
My dad gave me a bare chassis today to start on another project after we get the 29 Murray TS done. I have identified it as a March 1930 production. The front cross member seems to line up with that date, based upon stamping. Is there any way to ID what body style used to sit on the rails (i.e. sedan, pickup, TS, roadster, etc.)? Its a very nice frame that has very little pitting. There is no sag or cracks in the rear cross member. Its just too good to not use, but I want to have the correct body on it if there is any hint of knowing.
**Also, for the NC guys and gals, what is the grueling process of titling and registering a car with no title. Will it eventually be titled as a home-made modern build?

Re: Bare Rails ID
All body styles used the same frame for a particular time period. So, pick the body style you like and it will be correct.

Re: Bare Rails ID
I thought that to be the case, so may the truck begin!
