I must say, you sure get around to all the interesting stuff for sale. Although I am not so sure what one might do with a Model T farm trailer. LOL

If I were you, I would spend the money on the $400 Ranchero.

HAHA, I'm not really looking at using the "T" frame...but just wondering what you guys think it might be worth.

I'd pick that Ranchero up in a heartbeat, but my friend Spider's buddy has a triumph bonnie bobber that I got dibs on... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

IMHO Model T frames aren't worth crap, unless your restoring. By the time you boxed a T frame well enough to put a descent motor in, you could have made a frame from tube. Like the man said, put your money into something else.

What they said.
It's about as strong as and worth about as much as a rusty, used double size bed frame.
Honestly.
If you want a lawn ornament, offer to haul it away for them for no charge.

The only thing that would have any resale value would be the hubs. They would have to be the ones with five lugs, NOT SIX. Post a closeup photo of the hubs if you can, both front and rear.

one way you can make a T frame rad is to get 2 of them, and cut out the cross members. Then, take the left rail from one frame and match is up to right rail from the other frame and weld them together, you can do that for both sides and you have a relatively stout set of rails that is 100% old school.

not worth a pinch of nannygoat shit IMHO, unless you're a restorer of course. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'd pay 200% of market value for that, which equivaltes to a 12-pack of domestic beer...

The rear spring is the only cool thing there, I will give you a case of ShinerBock for it

HAHA..ok guys I get it.

I told him I'd drag it off his property and throw him $20 for his troubles of looking at it...he said the last guy offered $200, and he told that guy $250 and it's his... That's when I walked away laughing, jumped in my truck, & headed back to the paved roads of civilization.

Anyways...this thread can end here..and be deleted. No sense in wasting anymore bandwidth or keystrokes on it. I was just curious what you guys thought about it... thanks for the HONEST replies http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

T-man...you guys get our Shiner Bock up there in SD?
