Anything to ID it. I-beam axle or knee action independent. Is there an eng, trans, rear end. 5 lug or 6. does it have any cross members or "X". Any castings on the ends of the frame for bumpers. That's a start...Joe

A few photos posted here and the casting numbers from the rear end and/or transmission would help someone here to pin it down.

All the Best,

Chip

You can narrow it a bit by looking at the brakes. Mechanical brakes through '35, hydraulics from '36 on. Give us a description of the frame, crossmembers, any other details.
