Looking to buy a 1931 Pickup chassis to put under my 1931 Tudor.
Am I save to say that will work? Thanks for your input. I believe that should
be no problem but want to be sure. Thanks George

I have just done the same thing in reverse,put a 31 pick up on a 30 tudor driving frame (hot rod cast off,it rides again !!!) As Hash says bolts straight on ,I kept the tudor rear spring and it sits real nice .Maybe the two springs are the same anyway .

Remember the pickup chassis started life with a heavier spring in the rear (it may be still there), you might want to go to the correct or even a lighter spring.

The model A pickup and the tudor both used a 10 leaf rear spring .

Sorry to say the deal fell through. I was hoping to get it mainly for the banger motor.
I do have a chassis it has a front and rear end mainly a roller. No peddles or steering
gear and not a complete mechanical brakes.I do have a flathead but I really wanted to
keep it stock. I will keep looking I know they come up from time to time.Thanks for all
the imput. George
