Re: Any idea what tis frame is?
looks like the front frame rails are pinched in. i cant guess why, but i have had lots of farm wagon frames and never seen that before.

Re: Any idea what tis frame is?
I'll take a stab at this: Hydraulic brakes so 1939+. Heavy frame so perhaps 1 ton+.It's certainly not passenger car.
Perhaps measure the wheel base for us? Maybe find the serial number???

Kube, believe the brakes are cable, not hydraulic.

Re: Any idea what tis frame is?
Maybe a commercial with passenger car axles? But then.. Didn`t commercial trucks have parallel leaf springs in the back?

If your lucky the wide fives are 18" instead of the normal 16" ones.

Re: Any idea what tis frame is?
It's a wierd one, It probably was something made up from parts that didn't go together originally. The frame looks commercial but has a deep drop in the centre. A farmer could have spent a couple of days welding that up from whatever was handy. The front U bolts are inverted, the rear has coils added (only one showing).

Re: Any idea what tis frame is?
How about a Lincoln with the body cut off? Looking at the front and rear crossmembers it appears to have been built with those.

I REALLY need my eyes checked. You are correct.
Yikes, I'm calling the doctor now.

Interesting, so Lincoln was using cable brakes in 36.

Re: Any idea what tis frame is?
Thanks Rich, that arrangement looks very modern! To bad Ford didn't switch over sooner to both hydraulics and self-energizing. I understand Henry's resistance to hydraulics because he didn't use it first, but don't get the Lockheed vs Bendix. Did Henry have a personal issue with Bendix?
