30-31 Frame Horns

[grantsauder]

Hi: I am restoring a 30-31 Model A frame and the horns have been butchered and welded and are a total mess. i would like to get anew set of horns and have them properly welded in place. What mfg. makes these horns? Or would one of the suppliers have new or replacement horns. Thanks in advance.Grant

I built a set for a '32 Ford I'm building from 1/4'' plate. Worked for me.

Thanks Tinman080: I will be ordering a set from ebay. Grant

If you have some sort of body where the frame is visible then there is nothing like original bits.
Most are probably bent tho.

I'd be interested to see how this can be done seemlessly having previously created a frame horn.
Maybe cut the original back near the cross member?

I would get another frame before I would cut weld and align alll the things that are hooked to the frame horns. If I were to do what you are thinking of doing I would try to get original horns off a frame that was damaged in another area. I would advertise on the ford barn for what you are looking for. Also if your frame horns are as bad as you discribe then there is the question of is your frame bent in some other area.
