ssdodge51 Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 Does anybody know which (if any) 1/2 ton frames will interchange or are the same between 48-53? thanks Quote
48Dodger Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 The frames themselves are similar in demension...its the hole placement that changes. The 48-49 mounting holes for the steering are different than the 1950...etc. In all you can make any frame from 48-53 work....just watch for componet issues. The first image is a 1950 steering box bolt pattern held agaisnt a 1948. The second is a the actual 1950 frame. 48D Quote
JBNeal Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 I'm kinda thinkin' that the '48-'49, maybe '50, had a different crossmember when the fuel tank changed shape so that it mounted directly to the frame without mounting brackets. Quote
Robert Thornton Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 the gas tank on my 53 will not fit my 52 it has a different mounting shape Quote
