Default Frame sag

I've looked through a few post on frame sag & how to fix it etc but is the frame supposed to be completely flat on top from the very back to the front until the point where the frame horns start dropping down?

Are the dimensions the same for a 30/31 chassis or is there a 30/31 diagram?

I must say that is the best illustration I have seen of a frame.
I too, wonder if there are any like it except for the '30 and the '31 assuming
these two are different.
Thanks for your time.

I seem to recall that Steve Plucker did quite a bit of research and may have at least descriptions in some of his PDF's on his website. Check it out.....

Would be nice if there was a page or sticky page that helpful drawings and files could be store on the ford barn. I'm sure at some point, I will go back and search to find this drawing again. It's very helpful.

That's where the thread title wording is very important. Giving it a title like "Frame Dimensions Picture" would be much better than just calling it "Frame" or " A Good Picture" or "I have a Question".
