The Wash Out Bridge Mystery (update: Chevy 1927 or 1928? )



Mark from Phoenix, Arizona found a chassis that spent the most recent part of its career as a bridge to get across a wash out.  A flash flood bent the front Right frame horn. He is now thinking of cutting it up to make a Rat Rod frame for his 36 Ford truck.  But wants to figure out if its a rare car frame or something maybe worth saving and not chopping and butchering it up. (glad you wrote down those words before we did Mark!)

Mark adds that  "It's 145" in length and 34" wide in front (give or take a 1" ,it's bent up there but still repairable) and 44" wide in the rear with a splash pan or gas tank cover. Not sure. This could be a car or anything type frame. It has the numbers stamped in the front left inside of the frame horn

G50
FZ
1764

Can anyone help with this mystery chassis, before it gets chopped up?! You can contact Mark through his advert.

I think Ken is correct, I had a 1927 chevy and this looks like it.

As an aside, my father owned land in western massachusetts, and after a heavy rain the fender of a 1920's model T ford showed from the bank. The frame had been laid parallel to the stream bed and was supporting one side of a bridge!

1927 Chevrolet. Cross member with brake idlers indicate only rear wheel brakes. 1927 also had the additional gearbox mount brackets.

Perhaps the deciding factor should be quality rather than name brand(quantity?) for the time being, looks like a great frame to me.
