Technical Help iding hot rod frame

Can’t figure this out for the life of me my frame is stamped in two places OR43172.
***led as 1932 ford.
Is this a 1932 ford frame?

 

Might be, but show us more of the frame. As far as the OR stamping it could have been done to ***le it as an ***embled vehicle in Oregon when it was modified, you’d have to check their state vehicle codes.
Also, the “1” character is not what Ford used, they used the capitol letter I to represent that number.

 

Here’s a top view of frame up front

 

Here’s the other spot closer to the firewall with the same number stamped in

 

Take a side picture and as much of a complete frame pic as you can. Those close ups are not helping

 

Best I got sorry

 

Another one

 

It is a '32 frame but the number is not a stock frame number, the frames were stamped in 3 different places, the third is toward the rear of the frame. HRP

 

Looks like a re stamp with modern numbers

 

Looks like maybe a DMV stamp like others have said....

 

Could it be an aftermarket set up, and stamped accordingly?

 

Didnt Ford put a star at the front and rear of the number?

 

Hey Idealcl***ic, I'm like this computer, old & slow and my memory banks are clogged with useless information, but I'm sure I've seen this car around Portland. Maybe we can call up @Marty Strode & see if he knows. ( I thought if you printed @ it would hilite and notify Marty. Anybody know how this works?) I edited it & it worked. You gotta spell it right.

Like you I thought the bamboo seats were a little chintzy, but gave them a reason to tie in the Bamboo Bomber.

I looked over your pictures and I'm sure that is an original '32 frame. It has the stock K member, there are enough pits and patina to give it credibility. If the original build was from scavenged parts without a ***le, Oregon would require receipts for major parts and would then ***ign a new vin#. Generally for the last decade or so DMV would put the tag on the door jamb and not the frame. Unfortunately not all DMV offices were accurate and uniform in their actions and in my lifetime I have seen and sometimes been a part of some weird happenings. It's interesting, but not surprising that the owner stamped the numbers in a second location. Have you pulled the body to check for the third spot on the drivers side rail where it curves up to the rear crossmember? Any way as long as the numbers on your ***le (are you still a registration only state?) match the frame you are good.

 

Yes they did
