Re: 1934 ford frame
All '34 passenger car frames were the same, regardless of body type.

Re: 1934 ford frame
There is one big difference that I know of. On my 1934 Ford 3 window coupe frame, there are a ton of holes near the rear on both sides.
On my 1934 Ford pickup frame, there are about 15 holes. Period. Reason? I have been told that it is because of the fender mounting differences between a car and pickup. I do not know why, but I can count. Maybe because the fenders mount on the box of a pickup? Otherwise, I cannot find any other differences other than the VIN. |

Re: 1934 ford frame
Oh yeah, regarding the cars, I agree with David J. The cars are all the same.

Re: 1934 ford frame
I have also read that information many many years ago, I wish I could find that reference again. From memory open cars and pickup trucks had a thicker chassis, whereas cars having a monocoque construction didn't require the extra stiffness due to the strength inherant in the roof, therefore their chassis' were thinner.

Re: 1934 ford frame
Roadster and coupe in 1934 were the same frame. Pickup was the same but fewer holes sometimes depending on process in plant built.

Re: 1934 ford frame
Starting in the '37 model year, open cars did have a heavier (thicker guage) frame, but not before that model year.

Re: 1934 ford frame
When they started making frames for pickup only in 1942 they were stronger than car frames. And in later years they added X to conv frames for more strength and starting in 1937 stronger for conv. Cars. No difference before then
