    Franklin frames were mainly a wood beam.
     
  4. Matt,

    I went back through my Automobile Quarterly indexes and didn't find anything. I'll keep researching.

    Please post a photo of what you have. I don't think Franklin made a steel frame untill the late 1920's. As shot of the steering box is a good clue if you really do have a Franklin ch***is.

    I have posted a couple pictures on here before, I'll find the link.


    Franklins frames were wood earlier than 1929, they were steel between 1929-34, or there abouts.

    The earlier post with a couple pic's.

    I don't have the steering box that is "right" for this frame.

    And I can't really divulge a whole lot of info, so please just work with here,haha.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Matt

    I'll look through my stuff, but based on those two photos I don't think it's Franklin.
