New Frames!

[dmw56]

I'm going to Kansas this weekend to pick up 2 Model A pick up frames with clear titles. Ones a 29 the other a 30. Yeah! I'll be using one for the 30 Cab I have. The other hmmm, maybe I can talk Chipper out of the 29 body he has.

I also found a 36 Plymouth frame on Craigslist yesterday. I'm going to go look at it tonight. Should work fine for my 35 Plymouth Tudor.

Good find! Seems that there is a lot of good stuff coming out of Kansas

I had got excited over the weekend, I had found a '30 model a coupe body and frame, he was asking a little too much, but figured I would call anyways and go have a look. Was on Kijiji for less then an hour and sold already... $2850 in less then an hour. Sorry to ramble just really suprised me it went so damn fast.

If it was anything buildable that's a pretty good price IMO.

There was more then a little big of cancer, the bottom of both doors were missing almost 6", there was nothing below the deck lid... I figured a little on the high side as I had also came accross an almost complete (parts wise) '31 sedan in better condition and he was asking $4000... so it didn't seem like such a great price on the Coupe at the time. Maybe I need to rethink what some stuff is worth[S

Just pick this up today. $150 Frame from a 37 Dodge. Should work just fine for a 35 Plymouth or even the 38 Chevy truck. If not I have a plasma cutter and a welder it can be made to work. The frame is boxed in front and to the rear of the X-member. Nice kick up front and rear. Looks good and strong. I really like all those lighting holes in the X-member and rear cross member.

 

[dmw56]

It is definitely usable for something. Just one small crack on the front crossmember other than that nearly perfect.

looks like a good foundation for a hot rod.......[
just wondering how many projects you have hid out in that sand[S

 

[dmw56]

Only 6!

Cool find Don! I'm sure you'll find a way to make it work.

Neat frame. Those Model A frames with TITLES are a super good find IMO.

 

[dmw56]

I'm about 3/4 oftheway home right now after driving to Kansas and back after picking up 2 Model A frames with Titles clear and signed releasing ownership.[cl
Both are for PK I guess pickups, one 1929 andthe other 1930.

The guy has tons of stuff glad I didn't bring my trailer or it would be full. He has tons of cars for sale e.g. a running 1946 Ford Fordor for $3000, a 27 T convertible almost complete for $1000 and lots more.(sorry no pictures, I know fool fool fool!!!)

Well anyway I'll have frame pictures tomorrow when I get home.

Dmw you are livin' the life

 

[dmw56]

Well here they are. Not much to look at. Ones missing a center cross member and the other had the frame horns cut off but a pair are included. They were used as trailers so the have some weld boogers to grind off. But most important two titles.

 

[earthman]

Are the VIN numbers legible? They are located on top on the drivers side.
Actually hidden under the cowl when the body is on the frame and they didn't stamp them very deep.

Yes, with stars at the beginning and end and starting with an "A".

 

[AEROCOLOR]

Is that serial # the same as engine #? I was under the impression that Model A`s are titled off the engine. Is that not correct?

 

[dmw56]

After the engine was installed on the line the engine number was stamped onto the frame.

Got see what's up with the pictures???
