Transporting 28 frame without engine or transmission

[mrtexas]

I'd like to mount the roadster pickup body/bed on my 28 frame without motor/transmission and transport to painter on a car trailer. What can I do to support the dangling front/rear radius rods?

bailing wire them up or make some crude wooden supports.

do you plan to remove the body once its at the painter?

[kelley's restoration]

the rear should be held up by the service brake cross shaft
for the front, cut a 2x4 and put it in the middle of the frame rails and use some bailing wire or a ratchet strap

Yes the painter will remove it to paint under the floorboards.

Won't the rear rods be attached to the driveshaft tube?

Yes, and if the brake cross shaft is in place the torque tube will set above it.
