wtf is this BODY?? HELP!

Hey guys, my dad bought this t-bucket (or so we thought it was a T) a few years ago and is just getting around to workin on it (been buildin a few others between). I was looking at it and I realized it isnt a ford. WTF IS it? There are no body lines or anything, and it has a reasonably long cowl (front to back). Got the windshield frame so maybe its the original so someone would recognize? From what ive reasoned, it was a 4 door touring model that was shortened by cutting the rear door section out and putting the back piece onto the former door pillar. Ill get some pics up (hopefully).

Please help

I don't know but you BETTER send the STEERING wheel back to the "A-TEAM" van before MR T *** ****S you.....

email SETZER.... he will know

 

thats preety square, it isnt home made is it?

 

I think the windshield is like the one I have in the cl***ifieds. I don't know what it fits either.

 

GERM is back - HOLY ****!

 

I think it's too square for a Mopar, I'd guess Studebaker, or something along those lines.

 

1. These look like some sorta hinge pockets that were for the second set of doors

2. From this line and back (where it squares off) seems to be homeade but still looks good and its painted already so I cant sand it to check for filler and welds.

 

Its a FOUR DOOR someone shortened but its not a DODGE...

I called BA BARACUSS to come GET the WHEEL back,,, he'ssending FACE

 

"I love it when a VAN comes together!"

 

<font color="green">Maybe it started life as an Es***? They are pretty square cars. </font>

 

where's howling mad murdock and templeton peck...

 

Hey, Did'nt TWEETY BIRDs grandmother drive that car?

Billy

 

Man things sure are funny now that Germ is back...

 

When you think about the 1000+ auto manufacturers prior to 1930... god only knows what that could be, and it could literally be one of a kind....

this is a 26 Dodge touring/RPU-its not the same,cowl is rounder I think

 

that steering wheel is EXACTLY the same as the one that was on my chevy when i got it.it's a grant wheel and quite a piece of junk.get it off of there quick!
~Creepy

 

haha the grant wheel isnt staying, it was just there when we got it so it works to roll it around

 

Fairly sure it's a 25-26 Dodge.
The key is the windshield as well as the long cowl.

Did you get the original frame with it?
They weren't straight like the Fords, they were curved out to fit the bottom contour - as viewed from above - of the body.
If I remember right, the frame was factory boxed as well.

Some of the Oz guys may chime in here.
I understand that Dodge "T-Bucket" style roadsters were very popular in Australia.

I had some 35mm prints of a 25 Dodge roadster body and frame that a friend owned, but they're packed away.
Seems like it had the bracing inside the ****pit as you show with yours.

 

<font color="green">The windshield shape is a good point.
Not an Es***. </font>

nope, this is a 2X3 steel frame with a rear step. GM 12 bolt posi and 60's chevy truck rear suspension and a dodge frontend/axle

 

well for sure it was a touring at one time .but it aint a eary dodge i have a 16 touring with the rear choped off and its way rounder and shorter than that.

 

Sorry, C9 but its not a 26 Dodge. I bought a 26 Dodge woodie wagon yesterday and my firewall ribs are a circle with radianting ribs.

 

its not dodge but i think the windshild is early dodge i cant get a good enough look at it

 

Well I think I can help with what it is not. Here's a photo of my '23 dodge roadster cowl. I think the windshield frame looks similar, but the rest of your car looks way to square to be a dodge of that period. Good luck.

 

Ouch, that photo didn't work well. Let's try again.
