Gentlemen:
I have a frame portion with a short rear crossmember … it may have been cut off or may be original … there is some signs of breakage or "tampering"... not sure what the early frame really looked like to be certain ...there is no front crossmember or frame brackets or running board brackets … any help in a positive id. would be appreciated ...always an optimist gene french

It was cut off. Easy to replace but first check the rails for correctness and straighten before replacement.

Just for ref., here's an early frame that didn't have the rear overhang of the crossmember, as the early fender brackets acted as body brackets too, and were mounted direct to the frame.

Dan:
thanks for the photos … I was uncertain that this was a correct frame since some of the details were poorly finished … always an optimist ...gene french
