Id Please

Here is a chassis and engine, tranny etc that is going for scrap unless someone steps up.

As you can see the RF of the frame has been repaired.

We wrote the engine number on an envelope because I don't think it shows up in the pics.

Not mine, Call John at 503 502 7214 if interested. Its in Newberg, OR

Wow, haven't seen one of these for a while...

That's a 1937 1 1/2 ton special order Green Moss Chassis. Very few were ever made with the built in DIY wiring. Gotta be rare !

Mr. Moss had several plants, one in the NW and two in the swamps of Louisiana. I believe they are still in business and thriving in those locations. Don't scrap it, someone will need it (free bump ).

Is that a Muncie SM420 I see in the wire ?

I can only guess that its the tranny that came out of this truck as it seems to be missing from the bellhousing.

We would like to know what year etc.

A guy could have this special order moss chassis for not much more than scrap value.

By the way, it has 15 inch wheels.

What's the wheelbase ?

Edit:

I'm thinking it's a 3600 Chevy 3/4 ton probably around 1942

Frame # left passenger side upper frame rail should shed some light (near the front of the engine compartment).

How much for the 15" wheels and what is the center count ?

It appears to be a Chrysler product .

It's not a Chevy. They never had flathead 6 cylinder engines.

It's a Dodge.

I thought Chevy had flathead 6's from 1929-1965.....our family's '65 Belaire had one.

Overhead valve only on the Chevies.

32 - 35 Dodge , Desoto, Chrysler. Just a guess, with the rear axle, front axle, springs and motor, intake & exhaust.

Worth saving for parts.

It's a Dodge.

Yep !

Sure looks like the 230 used from the early 40's to around 1960 but the RBM prefix is a curve. Here's the years for the 230 if that's what it is.

It would be fun to make it run and just drive it like it is around a field.

Is the engine stuck?

The wheels look to be about 1941 Chrysler product wheels, to me.

I am sure that its a Chrysler product. But didn't know if the 15 inch wheels are stock.

I would guess the BC would be 4 1/2 but didn't measure, if you want them give John a call as this is a scrapper neighbor of mine that lets me know when a Chrysler product shows up for scrap.

I didn't check if the motor will turn so I would assume that its stuck as its been out in the Oregon liquid sunshine long enough for the moss to grow.

John is a reasonable guy and if you offer only a bit more than scrap you could own it. But I doubt it will be available for long.

You don't have to take the fence wire or other irrelevant junk.

If you know just where I should look for a frame number and you are interested in buying I will go look for it.

Your a great junkyard dog Jack! Even though it's nothing I need thanks for taking the time to bring it to us! Who knows? maybe the next time it will be something I need.

Thats for sure!

Tubular shocks - late '30's. Corrugated rubber covers for U-Joints again late '30's. Should be able to date the heat riser valve because of it's shape. Carter B&B Carb. Pad for engine number seems ground down lower than the usual casting height. Engine number "RBM" - "Re Built Motor" possibly? Should be able to get some dating off the numbers on the starter tag.

"Rebuilt Motor" was my first thought.
