There were three different versions of the 'legs' of the center cross member roughly forming the letter K when viewed from above, but in each instance they were used simultaneously on both four-cylinder and V8 chassis frames. In other words, except for extremely early frames manufactured before the decision was made to delay '32 model production in order to incorporate the V8 engine, there were no unique 'B' frames or unique 'V8' frames.

Those extremely early production frames had a wider spacing of the motor mount insulators in the front cross member, which was narrowed to 12" with the advent of the V8 engine. A revised B motor mount bracket was released for use with the revised front cross member.

As deuce lover indicates, all very early '32 frames had no 'legs' on the center cross member. In one of the April, 1932 recalls, the legs were to be added retroactively. There are a few examples of surviving frames that were missed in the recall (I know of six).

The very early B-only front cross member and both versions of the B front motor mount brackets and a surviving leg-less center cross member frame are shown in the photos below.
