Hi, I have a 1931 plymouth coupe PA body, I am in need of a frame for this body. What can a person get or use for this body. Thanks
Most cars of that vintage are pretty similar...my PA is on a '33 Chevy frame. It's widened slightly in the rear, but otherwise it fits like a glove.
Yeah I was gonna suggest a chevy frame from 28 they were 107 inch wheel base. And then the early 30s I bellieve went to 109 inch. they are cheap in most cases, have a nice shape to them, and are easy to box.
yep. my 31 plymouth has a 109" wheelbase. Anybody have a frame close to Missouri? Thanks for the help. Steve
I'm not sure what to recommend but I have pics of my original PA frame to show some reference. Original rails were straight so i don't think deuce rails will work at all...model a will but the wheelbase will need playing with since you will need the original 109" wb because of the much longer PA body. I've seen guys use dodge frames of the same era but they don't have as high a kickup in the front and rear of the PA. I used my stock rails, rear crossmember, ditched the front crossmembers for an a crossmember up frt. although I had to stretch it. Can't beat the cool rear window.
luckly, my 33 plymouth came with most of the frame,i got a repair manual and made the front rails with the print that was inside,took it to kinkos and had it blown up to scale,but the 31 frame rails are taller. plydo used to make frames , try them.304-475-3245.
i am picking up my 31 2 dr sedan in a week or so, not planning on using the original frame , dont know if you can even use it but i dont think im going to
There is a guy on ebay selling a 1929 or 30 Dodge panel under 1930 Dodge Parts. From what I could see in the pictures he had he may have what you want, In think he is in California. I have one as well but I think that may just to far to come to get it. Rob.
If you can't find a stock 31 Plym frame I would agree with Ghost.... the 28 Chevy frames are out there.... contact coppercart here on the HAMB ... he may know of one fairly close to you
Does anybody have a drawing of the frame specifications and dimensions for a 1931 Plymouth PA coupe? Thanks for all of the responses to my questions. Steve
Steve...send me your email and I will send you what you need....thanks to a fellow HAMB'er who sent it to me!
Heres a couple pics of a coupe frame I have in the shop. If this one wouldn't work, I know where another one is.
A little different, but mine's a 33 coupe channeled over a 33 Ford frame. The extra wheelbase fits the full hood well.
Hey MARFEN Cool Plymouth This is the way I'm wanting to build mine.Except I plan on using quarter Ellipticial Springs up front, pushing my axle forward.
