Hi everyone,
I'm still doing my research on building my first T and a member on another board sent me a messege about a T frame he has for sale. He said it's a "Perimeter Frame" that was welded up. I'm waiting for pictures and more info.
This is what the messege said -
"I have a perimeter frame here at the shop that was made for a T-Bucket out of square tubing. It is stout. The front and rear cross member and spring perches are in, but no engine or trans mounts. The radius rod and split wishbone mounts are in as well.
I bought it with a pile of other parts and have no use for it. I would take 200 dollars for it. I would like to see it go to a good home."
My questions are -
Who makes or could have made this frame perimeter frame?
What questions should I ask?
What should I look for with the built frame?
How hard would it be to fit the motor mounts and trans mount in?
I found two 383 and a 727 in my area that I'm looking at and thinking of making an offer on one of them or both. I'm just not sure what all I would have to do to the frame to make it all work and what to look for in the frame to make sure the welds and everything is all level and strong.
Thanks everyone.
