Question on Ford frames / chassis 35-40

Will a 35 Ford truck fit on a 42-48 sedan chassis. Hard to find a 35-40 chassis. It will have Mustang ll front and 4 link 9" rear. Any help is welcomed.

 

I don’t think the 42-8 frame will work for you.
Maybe wescott still has the frame diagrams up?
Planning a trip out west in the future? Bring some strong backs and head home with a ‘36 PU frame I have.
It will cost you food and drink though

Pssst, might be better in the OT section or edited.

 

...I'm guessing...NO.

 

Just tell us what you really think

 

the 42-48 frame has a hump in the middle and is longer than the 35-40, might be wider at the back

 

Breaker 1-9 for the 99vert, yeah that's a big negatory on that one, over...

 

I have seen people try but i have never seen anyone succeed. Though the cab is 99.9% identical the similarities end there. The 35-41 PU cab and bed sit on wood blocks to fit the passenger car frame. The fenders, bed and running boards are completely different in the 42 up chassis.

As for that other stuff, we allow camaro motors but not mustang suspension.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Thanks for all the replies. Confirms my suspicion.

Thanks to all

 

Talking like a Gillman’s Classic Drive-in and gas station beer or a Galletto Ristorante type night?

 

Here is one on our classifieds, cheap. There are also a pair of repop 35-40 frame rails on there, perfect for your MII suspension.

 

Gillman’s isn’t as good as it was when I was in HS, danged pricy as well.
But I’m a cheap date, bag of chips and a 6 pack

 

And the 42 -47 pickups had their own frame, didn’t use the passenger car chassis.

 

Thats why the front end doesn't fit when they try to make 40-41's out of them. Easier methods.
