I don't have any photos of the frame. I also don't have my original 1939 frame/axle any more. But I do remember measuring my original hubs, outside to outside & checking them against my 3/4 ton 1990 Suburban & they were the same. But I don't have the suburban any more either "LOL" so that won't help. My 39 was 1-1/2 ton with 5 lug reverse wheels on front & 10 lug rear duals. This van is 10 lug front & 10 on back duals. Rear End is gone on this frame, just the leaf springs on rear.
I won't be getting discouraged on this project. It is going forward one way or another. I think this big Van frame will work, but if I need to re-work it, or scrap it & go another rout, that's OK to. I paid $175 for this frame.
Extra nice thing is, he took everything off the chassis except the parts I will need "firewall-dash & front floor" which has the steering column & master cylinder with all brake lines & peddles. Rear leafs also, but I'm not sure weather I will use the rear springs yet. My mind is on the front suspension at this point. "O" I forgot to mention that it also has the Vin plate & registration.
I won't know any thing else till I get it home. We are shooting for next weekend.
Thank you all for all your helpful comments & support. I will keep you up dated as soon as I get it home...
If it's not a Chevy, it's just transportation.
