    Pirated off a FB group. I'll bet the HAMB sleuths can figure this out! What frame is this?

    It’s a 20’s Chevy as mentioned. Don’t know if there is enough in the photos to really dial it in further but this place always surprises me

    I can’t say exactly what year it is but Chevy’s first got front brakes in 1928 so it’s ‘27 or earlier.

    IMG_0420.jpeg The rear cross member looks similar to this 1928 Chevy . No front brakes so it’s before 28
    Grab the buggy axle . They make good pry bars

    Tree mendous information right here as always. Did 27 have tree spoke wheels or solid?

    Going to be hard to convince the wood to give up its frame.

    How old do you suppose the tree is? Depending on the variety I’d say a minimum of twenty five years…

    Anyone board with the wordplay? I’d hazard a guess that people are pining to move on. However hardwood it be to let it grow…
