Looking ahead to when I can start on the Ranchwagon, I've been collecting parts. I picked up a 53 2 dr. sedan in eastern Arkansas but haven't made the trip to get it yet. I bought it for the engine/trans and small parts. The more I think about it, it would be nice to strip it, do the ch***is and then switch parts as I go through the wagon. All that to say this, Is the wagon ch***is different than the sedan? Extra bracing, body mounts? I tried a search plus checked the internet, didn't find what I was looking for. Thanks in advance.

Looks like the wagon uses the same frame as cars and sedan deliveries, judging from the note at the top right. "X Type" is probably for convertibles only, as the Victoria hardtop has the "Box Type" frame. Hope this helps.
Contact Retro Jim here in the group,he can hook you up with the Ford Parts CD it has a blowup of all the frames and componet parts for less than $10, best $10 you will ever spend.
