Here are pics of the body showing the subframe, it runs the whole length of the runabout body, turtle deck bolts to this subframe.

thank you sir . you wouldn't happen to have pictures of the rear corners and where the sub frame meets the body would you?also does anyone know the length and width of the sub frame ? any pics or measurements would be gratefully be appreciated . thanks
 
Don't have any dimensions to help you. The best solution is to adv for or search for the rear frame member you are missing. No one sells the subframe new. Good luck

I've been gradually collecting parts to assemble a 26/7 Roadster body... this is the rear subframe I found... rather rough but gives you an idea...

I've always been interested in the 26-27 T's, there were two different style turtle decks. They look the same at first glance but there are small differances. Like the early cowls and doors Ford was always changing things, be sure you are collecting the correct parts to match what you have.
 
what are the differences between 26 and 7 doors and turtle decks? i know there was slight differences but didn't know what ? i know model A but this is my first T
