Hot Rods 1934 Ford frame issues

I realize that I can just drill the holes in the frame but, I am wondering why my ‘33-34 ford frame has no holes in it for the inn Er fender blisters? It doesn’t look like they were filled at some point prior. Anyone seen this? Will I find more frame issues in the future? Any help... thanks!

Truck frame ? Does it have the holes on the side for the passenger car running boards ?

 

Looks to me like a truck frame

 

X2 what Pete said. Truck frame ??

 

For reference, minus the holes, the car and truck frames are the same...

 

Can't answer your question, just that my frame had none either. I bought aftermarket splash aprons that came with no holes either so I drilled and tapped the frame and matching holes in the aprons. My problem was when matching the cowl at the rear, the aprons were a quarter inch from the frame there tapering to less than three sixteenth at the front. I figure just more faulty after market stuff and used spacers to bolt them in at the fame. I now have a tapered gap going forward between the frame and the apron but it goes unseen so no big deal.

 

Good to know. Thanks.
Looks like a little extra time filling and drilling some holes. Oh well... will get there. Needs work anyway.
