Re: 1933/34 ford chassis identification?.
I have just got a 34 come in from California and my chassis is stamped in 3 places all with the same number which is nothing like any of the previous. It is as follows
star 5188... star ( last 3 numbers are hidden on purpose ) there is no evidence of 18- anywhere?, so basically it is a 7 digit number with a star at either end. I am presuming that it is a truck chassis as there is no running board mounting holes along the sides . Anybody any ideas ? |

I have had these lists for a long time now. They detail the Australian engine numbers. See attached file. I hope this helps. David

Re: 1933/34 ford chassis identification?.
according to "The Early Ford V8" book by Francis and De Angelis V8 engine numbering is as follows: "engine numbers for V8 was preceeded by a star then by prefix "18" followed by a dash.

Re: 1933/34 ford chassis identification?.
The engine numbering referred to in the DeAngelis book pertains only to V-8 and four-cylinder engines produced at the Rouge engine plant in the U.S. and not to those produced across the Detroit River in Walkerville, Ontario, Canada. The latter's production began and ended with a star (at least in theory) and started with a "C", etc. as shown on the neat chart that you provided above. The four-cylinder engines produced at the Dagenham, England plant were numbered from groups of numbers allocated from the number series used by the Rouge Plant so they began either "AB" or "B" depending on the point in time the engine was produced. This is also borne out by your chart.

Re: 1933/34 ford chassis identification?.
I know this is an old thread. I had a 1933 and a 1934 crossmember out of a frame and wanted to take a comparison photo for future reference.

Re: 1933/34 ford chassis identification?.
Found a shot of a very early 1933 front crossmember for sale today. Thought I'd add to the difference list. The early had the motor mount locations like a 1932 crossmember.
