Can anyone help me date this frame?

[lecktrix]

I have a 1930/31 body that im looking for a frame for. The guy tells me that its a T frame that was converted into a hay hauler in the 40's. He will give it to me if I want it. Its in the weeds and sorry for poor pictures. My body is a rough chopped two door.. It will have a flatty and three speed in it when completed (20 years.. haha).

Thanks again guys!!

The frame is a t, pre 1925. The front axle is model a mounted with a model t spring. The rear axle is model t, cant see the rear brakes so I cant really tell year range. I just scavenged a model t hay wagon for parts as well.

David is right about short rear crossmember making it pre 1926. 3 holes together on side for cast running board brackets would indicate pre 1921. 2 holes in side ( side by side) are for post 1916 firewall brackets. Other holes ( or lack of) out of view would narrow the years further. Yes it is Model T car not truck and has a Model A rear end.

The 3 holes in the side for the forged running board brackets will not make it pre 21. Ford left the holes in for sometime after that so could be used as replacement frame under earlier car. My later 21 has them and the holes for the cast firewall brackets.

Thanks guys... Maybe ill hold out for a later frame, but for free it might do. Its definately not going anywhere. Id love to find a later 30's frame to do. But if im going to flip the front, and Z the rear, it might work for now.... I have too many projects going at once.

Thanks for all the info!!
