Looking at a frame identification chart it appears the only difference between a 1926 and a 1927 is is the flange on the rear cross member, can I use a 1926 frame for a 1927 Touring body?

Bruce, I have a real nice 1927 front and rear crossmember you can have cheap, ( free) but I’d encourage you to ask and look around for a real nice 1927 frame. There is nothing rare or expensive about them. Just ask club to club, friend to friend, someone within a days drive has one, as riveting a crossmember correctly in is a nasty chore. If you decide on Daves frame, swing by and get the right rear crossmember, those are much easier to install. JMHO
