looking at a 1935 Plymouth coupe w/rumble seat nearby, the sheet metal is good... BUT! there is no frame! What year frame of Plymouth/Dodge would fit a '35 coupe? Do Sedan and coupe frame have the same dimensions?
This is a good question for the regular hamb Just finished a 33 ply. They had two different wheel bases. I do believe there are 2 wheel bases in 35 as well. I’m just excited you didn’t mention a S10
If I remember right, you need a 35 frame. It has been a long time since I messed with Plymouths. I think they had 1 common wheel base. Dodges had a 4' longer WB.. I don't think a 36 frame will work.
I don’t claim to know for certain.....but.....’35 and ‘36 bodies are near identical. That being said, it seems to me that the ch***is are also either the same or very similar. The 1935 and 1936 share a common 113” wheelbase on all models except some very long wheelbase specialty models.
You can't get much further from me and still be in the continental states. I just found a car that was thrown in a ditch on a farmers field and mangled but still has what appears to be a decent frame under it. It's about the only thing still useful. Probably could be had for cheap or free. I really like the 35/36 plymouths.
