Hot Rods Id spring hanger on Art Gerrick car

Burl and I are building a race car, we are going similar to the Art Gerrick car.
What are the front spring hanger and shakle off.
I do not think it is Franklin or Chevy

 

I also agree it isn’t Chevy. I could use a pair like that for my project.

 

@Moriarity had a hand on it some time ago. He may know. The car was featured in Hot Rod magazine in May 1951, maybe it has some info. This is also one of my favorite cars.

The frame was 24 olds it says

 

Thanks for the input, the Olds springs sit under the frame rails.
Brian and I both have talked to Moriarity every time we see him, we seen him last Sunday too.

 

Going from long memory, but those rear seem similar to F-1? Too many years and don't have one handy to look at, but that is my first thought. Front is certainly not F-1.

In the old days the 3-springer was a popular setup, and I think Essex frames were a common use? Maybe that is what was used?

 

Those hangers are similar to Cadillac model 30 (1912-13) rear hangers, so can the hangers be Olds rear?

 

It does'nt look too hard to fabricate from steel plate, then have it shot blasted to give the texture of cast or forged.

I wish I would have seen those before I made mine. Looks much more period than what I made. I agree they should be easy to copy and make to look cast.

 

I have part of an Essex frame in the barn. I’ll take a look this weekend.
