When you even find used, usable wide track or southern tread chassis parts, you'd better jump on them. They don't grow on trees. Back in the 1970's, I bought a 1913 touring from a seller in Houston. It had all the wide track body parts, but the front and rear axles had been changed back to standard tread. Man was it an odd looking "bird". I put the word out, and was lucky enough to find another collector who lived 20 miles from me who had the needed parts. Fast forward to the last 3 years; I moved to the San Antonio area and a member of the local club said he had a 1913-14 wide tread chassis for sale (he's since sold it). Those are the only two wide tread chassis that i have run across in 50 years. Now, I might have missed one at Chickasha in the few years that I have gone, but barring that, two chassis is all I've come across in that time.

Lately on the forum there was a photo of some stuff showing diff halves. i am sure a couple of them looked like wide track items. Can't remember if it was in the classifieds or on a load going to Chickasha.
