    the hub caps would be key in finding out what it is. but it has steel spoke wheels, so its likely early 30s, the late 20s had alot of wood wheels.

    late twenties ford had wood wheel to 27, after that and during that they had steel spoked wheels.

    Actually looks like a T axle but the rest look like a hodpe-podge of parts.

    99.9% sure that is a "model 490 Chevrolet". I don't know the years the 490 was built, early 20s? It's the only one I know of that has 1/4 ellipticls at an angle. Google Chevrolet 490

    thats a collection of parts to make an ordinary farm trailer. the rear axle is Model T
    Front axle may be T also
     

  8. Bingo...

    ...and those are the stock front and rear axles.

    I had one just like it. Still do, only I cut it up... :rolleyes:

    These 4 corner 1/4 ellipticle Chevy frames are real early...

    Like 1918, I think '18 or '19 was the last year the were produced.

    Very light duty, Would be great for a banger powered car with early 1920's Speedster type Build.

    $50.00 is well worth it, but dont plan on big V8 power.....

    Like i said .....VERY LIGHT DUTY STUFF

    "Hoover Wagon" built on Chev ch***is, likely hubs modified to Ford lug pattern during '40s so later tires could be used. The front wheels appear to be '32 Ford 18" ?

    Did you buy it? For 50 bucks I wouldn't hesitate ******* off my neighbors with it. If you're not gonna get it, PM the link to me. There are enough parts laying around here to make a cool little speedster out of that.
