keiser31 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I would have to say yes. Clearly the shape mimmicks the front of a frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I'll go a step further and suggest they were for a model T Ford as they appear to mimic frame horns forward of a very squared off frame - they look like they would mount where the radiator and fender brackets hit the frame.

1912Staver Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I am not so sure about Model T. It looks like the bumper would end up a long way in front of the car. It almost looks like they were intended to replace the front foot or so of the original frame. Could not have been very popular especially if you were expected to cut off part of your existing frame to use them. They do not look like they have ever been installed, the hole for the spring eye bolt looks undrilled.Greg in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1912Staver Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 If they were installed on a frame such as a T then there would be no problem, but why make them in the shape of a conventional frame with front projection for the front spring eye bolt.{Parallel leaf springs} Part of the casting is intended to overlap the existing frame, but the forward 2/3 or so would interfear with anything forward of the front crossmember on a conventional frame.

keiser31 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I am thinking what TheMoneyPit was saying.....that they fit a square front frame similar to a T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Here is a Chevrolet 490 frame that these possibly could be used on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehandleman Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 picture does not blow up,is it one brace under the radiator i just dont see what you mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Does this help? The top bracket looks to be the right side bracket that would slide onto the frame from the side. Then bolts would go through the hole to keep it there. One through the top and one up through the bottom. The brackets will clearly only fit a frame with square ends.
