Hot rod frame ?

Looking for pictures of frame. I am going to build a 40 ford truck without fenders. I would like for it to set low with cab chaneled over the tube frame.

 

search. Been covered a million times.

 

I guess that means no one could have come up with any new ideas.

 

40s trucks need fenders ,there is an idea for ya

 

There are no new ideas.

But if you must be different here's a rendering of a hot rod chassis for ya.
If you give me wheelbase etc I'll draw you up prints for a price.

 

Fenders hide the cool stuff.

 

Actually, on a 40, the only thing fenders hide is how godawful they look without fenders. I like to use the folling rule "Anything made after 1935 looks toatlly awful without fenders". Your mileage may vary.

 

I'd put that line at about '40.

 

Take a look in the tech section,the Littleman coupe build is really interesting, especially the frame.

 

These threads have a shit load of trucks pictured

more searching should find even more

 

Check this link out for frame specs. They've got many of them, and they are free to download, print, or copy. The link below is to a 35-41 Ford Truck frame, but Wescott's has several different frame dimensions and diagrams on their website.
