That I don't know. I have this frame. I was told it's a 29 Dodge. I found a 30 Dodge pickup that is without frame. I was thinking if it would slip right under the pickup without modifying, then maybe I'd buy the pickup.
You might be able to find out from the “Standard Catalogue of light trucks”. There’s also the same for cars I think. Should be able to find it in the library. I have Don Bunns book somewhere on Dodge pickups if I can find it, it would at least tell me the wheel base of the ‘30.
That looks very much like a Victory 6 frame... Dodge made it out of lighter material to keep weight down (the all-steel body slides down over the frame and bolts to the sides). Unfortunately, the frame becomes a major weak point in an accident.
compare the 29 dodge frame to a 29 ford frame no way the ford frame even comes close, closer to a 33-34 ford frame
Yes that’s a Victory 6 / DA frame. I have a 29 DA they replaced the victory model uses same fenders and frame just has different body. Very beefy and heavy. I have pics of my frame when I built it if you need visual verification. Also that gas tank cover is a twin to mine
Now that we ID frame grab a tape measure put that frame on some stands and slide that pick up cab on it and get to work!!!
We now know it's from a sedan but still don't know how close it is to a 30 pickup frame. I'm not looking for another major project. I have plenty of those, and, I need to run new power to my shop. Just thought if the frame was close enough that it might be a good back burner project.
I can tell you a 31/32 PU frame does not have the “swell” as it goes to the rear then narrow to the tank. If I don’t get called in tomorrow night, I’ll look through my Bunn book (if I can spot it) and see what it says about 30-32 and differences.
Can you see any serial number on frame? It should be on passenger side behind front tire. You usually have to wire brush off rust to see it. I'm looking for a 28/29 Dodge Standard Six frame. serial J-1 to about J-75000
