Old thread on the subject here, Most likely a 41/42 frame according to this. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1940-1942-ford-chassis-confusion-seeking-help.826624/

 

Pick a number from 42 to 48.

 

43-45 are taken.

 

Built tough what ever it is

 

42-48 Ford.

 

The extra motor mount pieces on the front crossmember makes me think Mercury, they had a 4" longer wheelbase. To do that they moved the crossmember forward 4". The frame number will stamped on the top of the left frame rail not far back from the steering box mounting plate, and also on top of left frame rail further back on the forward part of the rear axle hump.

 

Thanks for the feedback! Looks like I have a 42-48 frame and 39 cab. Hope I can make it work.
