Hi all, I have this great truck conversion chassis free to a good home. Very nice condition, you can still see the pinstripes on the side of the frame.
Comes with.lots of extra t parts. Fenders, touring car doors, wooden wheels, all free!

There are two extra TT rolling chassis for the taking also one with the lower half of a C cab body.
Swing by the ranch with a big trailer! Lots of good free stuff.. even found a early Studebaker radiator in the pile, and an Emf hood from about 1910.. lots of other stuff ! The rules are, once you drive in, you can't leave until your trailer is full!

I was planning on building a bus body. The springs in the back should hold lots of weight.

Interesting conversion of car chassis & TT axle, curious as to the donor frame extension/springs.
At least its not buried in pig farm mud pond like the TT axle I dragged out on a farm south of Merced.
You live in beautiful country. My Grandpa lived in Grass Valley, ex military/private pilot, he & I used to run down your way to Beale to watch the SR71's.

Yes, it's really well done. Still in great shape.
We've had some good rains here, and things are greening up!

Lots of front axels!
Yes, we just found a 10 button under some sheet metal.
The snakes here are friendly, you can pet them if you're fast!

You have real diamondbacks where you live! The eastern diamondbacks are much larger than the north pacific species we have here.

We call ours Timber Rattlers. They are not long but fat. Usually about 4 to 5 feet.

I'll try and take a photo today of the lower half of the c cab.
I haven't checked this post in a while.
Thanks for the info Gene, this one doesn't have an open drive shaft. It's a very nice chassis to build a fun project.
