The engine is Feb. 4, 1916. The wheels are 1919 or newer as is more then likely the rear end. The rear spring would be correct for 1916. Cant see the front axle to tell. The frame might be 1919/1920ish, looks like there is a hole on the drivers side for the battery box frame but it could be newer, the channel type running board supports were removed and forged type installed. Ford made frames so they could be back dated to fit earlier cars.
