I now own this car. The red-painted head was an "oopsie"; a mechanic friend of the previous owner pulled the head to replace the head gasket, and before reinstalling the head he did the owner a "favor" and painted the head red.

I am 6 miles south of Mineral Point, WI 53565
My Dad told me the frame was from a 28 Dodge. That is all I know about it.
If I did it right, the wheelbase is 108"
I won't know how to take it apart. Just make me an offer as is.
NOTE: I have a skid steer so I can set it on a trailer for you.
Thanks.

Hi, Bob Thanks for getting back to me so promptly.
Would you be able to e-mail me some pictures, please? My e-mail address is danritz@pair.com.
1. Is there any damage to the frame?
2. Is there any serious rust (deep pitting, etc.)?
I have no idea what the bare frame is worth. Again, I have use only for the bare frame, but have no problem taking the complete unit. Can you give me a ballpark idea of how much you'd want for it, please?
Thank you!
Dan

HI I have a complete frame with springs, 4 wheel hubs, beat up gas tank. I have been told that it is a 1928 Dodge. I would be glad to sell.
Thanks for responding. A few questions...
1. Where are you located?
2. Is the frame from a sedan or coupe/roadster?
3. What is the wheelbase (center of front axle to center of rear axle)?
4. Would you be willing to sell just the bare frame and, if so, how much would you ask for it?
Thank you!
Dan

If you live in an area where they stretch truck frames, there should be a frame rail fabricator. They can copy and rivet as per your sample. This is a way out if you do not have success finding a replacement frame. Good luck, Rob
Thanks, Rob, I'll check into that. Much appreciated!

Hello Danritz,
What part of the planet do you reside on? A replacement frame is by far the best way to go and if you live in the Untied States there are bound to be some perverts fornicating one around somewhere. The biggest hassle is transport from where it's at to your location.
I'm in Wisconsin, but my reach is obviously worldwide via the net. Maybe there are bound to be 128/129 frames out there, but so far any owners have remained underground. And I've run a comprehensive online & local search for the last several months (AACA, Dodge Brother Clubs, a gazillion assorted Facebook groups, Facebook Marketplace, eBay, local clubs, etc., etc); there are no 128/129 frames to be had. Also, I checked in detail the measurements of earlier frames; not even close, off considerably in all three dimensions. The search continues...

Been there done that - not much fun (with a 129 too). 128/129 chassis will be the same at the front across the different body types but I don’t think there are too many around.
I think the dumb irons may be similar with the standard 6 but that’s probably it.
Yep, I've been looking for quite some time - 128/129's seem to be scarce indeed. Thanks!

I was thinking front rail sections from other models might work as well?
Thanks!

I have a 1942 Ford 6-cylinder flathead engine that my brother would like to sell. But we have no idea of its value. (Admin – please delete if not allowed).
In the mid 80's (yep, 35 years go) my brother owned a '47 Ford pickup that he planned on restoring. He removed this engine from the truck, and had it rebuilt. I have receipts dated 1985. He ended up selling the truck itself, without ever having installed or ran the engine, but held onto the engine all these years. He will soon be moving into a different house, and decided that the time has come to let go of the engine. He worked with the experienced Ford engine builder who assembled the engine, and told me that the engine was liberally lubricated when it was put back together. I stopped by my brother's place this week, and we were able to turn it over with a socket and straight arm; it was not "stuck" whatsoever.
Info from the block:
Ferro 2GA6015
From the web:
"The G casting: This is the original inline six cylinder and was used before WW2. It is cast by Ferro foundry and will have a stylized raised Ferro mark located on the oil pan rail next to the oil breather pipe. The casting mark will have a G as part of its code, for instance, 2GA 6015."
"That is a 1942 engine...90 hp, 226 cubic inch, bore 3.3", stroke 4.4". The 2GA engine was produced and used in 1942 models only."
Located in Bloomer, WI (54724)
My brother wants it gone; $500 OBO - Will consider all offers. Thanks!

I have a 1928 Dodge Brothers coupe frame that I'm beginning to work on. The front 30" of my frame had been torn up and poorly repaired to the point I don't think that I can bring it back from the dead, and may need to replace the front portion of the frame rails. So... I'm looking for a donor (or replacement) frame, or front rail sections from one. The rails are kinda husky - about 5" tall in the area where the new and old sections will meet. I have no problem buying a complete frame if that's what it takes to get the front 30" or so. I'd obviously prefer a '28 Dodge Brothers frame, but am open to ANY YEAR OF DB, OR ANY OTHER MAKE that I can get to work.Here's a picture of what I'm looking for. The leaf spring brackets are not needed - I can install & use my old ones.Thanks!

That is interesting, Fred. The 'Blitz' trucks, as we called them were quite common in the station country, either with a Ford V8 or a Chev OHV 6, from memory. The main thing I remember is that none of the several examples I drove had any brakes whatsoever. Quite challenging in thicker bush country.
And my apologies to Danritz for wandering off topic.
No, problem at all. Very interesting discussion...

You might also check with the vintage sprint car groups as the engine was used in sprint cars and racing boats in the era.
Thank you!

My Dad had a 1947 Gleaner-Baldwin Combine that had a 6-Cylinder flathead Ford engine for the power unit. This was a pull-type machine that had its own power source. The engine was original to the machine. Might want to check with the farm equipment restorers too.

I have heard of these engines, don't think I have ever seen one. IF you find the right guy, it could be worth more? But finding that one in thousands person could be really tough. Personally, I would like to see it put back into a '42 appropriate truck. However there are not many people wanting to do that. Realistically, George A is about right. Checking with the military vehicle collectors could help.
Thanks, I'll check into that. -

You might want to check the “Ford truck enthusiast forum” they have a section for groups based on years. Great group of guys that are as helpful as people on this forum. I rebuilt a 49 Ford F3 pickup with their help.
good luckdave s
Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

I heard they were good for truck use as they had better low end torque than the V8. Would make sense if they were often refitted in farm tractors.
Thanks, I'll give that a shot!

I had one that I gave away with some Flathead V8’s I sold last year. I could not find a buyer. It would help if you know if it’s frozen or not, if it’s cracked or not inside and some people asked me if I tried to start it or took it apart to check it.
Also if you are willing to strap it to a pallet for shipping purposes, you can cast a wider net for a buyer.
It is not frozen - per my original post:
"I stopped by my brother's place tonight, and we were able to turn it over with a socket and straight arm; it was not 'stuck' whatsoever. "
You're right, shipping is an option I may need to consider...
Thanks!-

Those sixes werent too popular then, and a flathead V8 still seems to be more popular. I always liked them, but I like ANY "straight" engine (2,4,6,8)! It may have greater value in tractor collector circles. They were used to convert "N" series Ford tractors (9N, 2N, 8N) to a more powerful machinehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMBnoSWZPv0
Thanks, much appreciated!

Check with marine/boat forums, that could be an ideal replacement for that application.

Do you still have the '28 fenders, etc. for sale? I have a ;28 DB Model 128 coupe. If so, what are you asking for them, and where are you located?
Thank you!
