    Anyone have a weight on a 1940 or as above^^^ bare frame ?? No "about" weights .... I want a solid sure weight. Trying to save a trip to upper midwest and back, by getting a "dadgum" shipping weight instead. Need as such for "dadgum" quotes. Anyone ?? Thank you one and "dadgum" all.

    Dunno what the dadgum frame will weight but I'm anxious to read the replies. This'll be good.

    Factory Ford frames are surprisingly light. Not scientific, but I could stand behind the center of the X and pick up a frame myself with ease. about 140# Once I boxed the front and added a M2 crossmember, I had to have my son help me. about 225#. NOT accurate but I hope it helps
