I have a very nice 33-34 bare frame. The serial numbers are in the usual places. It is very clear. But, not the normal.
It is.... *C18A- (four digits)*
C may be Canada? anybody know?

My only comment would be that if it's easy to read it doesn't sound like it was added on a normal Ford assembly line!

Canadian

Tom, Thanks for that information. Thats a great chart that I wasn't aware of. Tells me it is an early 34 number.
