thanks to all who have posted to my question. bare with me i'm new to this hobby. i bought this frame as a roller. nothing that really stands out for the year. i can tell it's a 1/2 ton frame from 52 - 55. but not sure on the exact year. it didn't come with a trans crossmember. i have picture of the rear engine crossmember. it's v shaped with about 8" of flat in the middle. i have a picture to show of this crossmember.
