Dan Marx Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Looking for 1928 Essex super six 4 Door frame. Any chance there is one available? Dan Rembert, SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans1 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 27, 28, 29 Frames almost the same. Each years same frame for 2 door - 4 door -coupes- and special bodies. Body bolt holes to frame same. There is a difference in "D" Chanel on the lower side frame supports that reinforce center of longer frame side rails. Also running board brackets and front spring to frame attachments. '28 and '29 frames would have brackets for the support of Front brake hangers, which would be helpful. As the '27 had no front brakes. 29 has two shoe Bendix brakes as opposed to the '28 with three shoe Bendix brakes. /////////////////// The '27, '28 and '29's, had different step heights, thus running board brackets were different each year. That is one reason fenders for each year don't fit as shape and depth of running boards are quite different. '29 running board brackets could be moved upward. ///////// More '29 Essex cars made, aprox 229,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54Coupe Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Hans1, how do earlier frames compare? I have what I believe to be a '24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans1 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 NO hands on experience with 26 and earlier, except observation of museum or looking over cars at meets. I think the similarity of '23 to '27 are quite likely. Some measurements of your chassis could be compared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no brackets on the frame for rods and such 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
