chevyinthehole Grease Monkey Registered: 02/06/12 Posts: 3 Loc: Sanford Michigan	Hi out there, I found a frame with rear axel and front suspension that seem to look a lot like a 1927 chevy sedan of some sort. I know nothing of these old cars. The frame is still very solid all the spring mount castings are still there and in good shape. the hubs and spindles are all there. Anybody know if this is worth anything or should I scrap it? I don't have a picture right now but I will be getting one on soon. From reading your forum do I understand that 1927 and on a few years on are the same? An approxamate wheel base is 106? Any information anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I realize my post with out pictures doesn't give nearly enough detail to start a discussion on value. How about this; can anyone tell me if the wheel base of a 1927 chevy sedan is 106 inches?

veryrusty52 Shade Tree Mechanic Registered: 11/07/11 Posts: 47 Loc: Sydney, New South Wales, Austr...	G'Day to ya Jerry 27, Please dont feel your on the outer. I appreciate all the Chev 4's, for all different reasons. While I have been watching this site decieding what model Chev to buy, I constantly see people asking for help or details on certain topics. Lots of viewers not many willing to extract the digit and sign on to help. Maintain the faith brother, and to quote an Australian saying "Dont let the Ba*****dS wear you down.

chevyinthehole Grease Monkey Registered: 02/06/12 Posts: 3 Loc: Sanford Michigan	Thanks Guys and/or gals, It looks like its a 28 or later, I have front brakes and I must be an inch off on the wheel base,but that's because the wheels are turned, frozen in the mud right now here in Michigan. Thanks again all!

chevguroo Oil Can Mechanic Registered: 01/13/02 Posts: 730 Loc: Sydney, Australia	Jerry I've been involved with Chev 4's for over 40 years and had a very original one owner 27 tourer that had only been painted and trimmed, drove it many miles over quite a few years. I have a fair knowlege on 27's and maybe able to help you, but as I don't have the 27 anymore I can't supply photos or measurements. EG there are quite a few differences between early 27's and late 27's. Chris from downunder
