This Chassis has lots of parts that could be used in other sedans, coupes & touring restorations.... such as the 4 cylinder engine (1924-1928).... or replace your three speed transmission with this 4 speed.. or take your pre 1928 two wheel brakes and make it safer with these four wheel relined brakes... plus if you need a recored radiator, or a rebuilt wooden steering wheel... lots of parts here to renew and improve your project....Buy it all together on a movable rolling chassis and then take what you need and sell the remaining parts.... and it will pay for itself....... the engine itself is worth the money..... I can't believe no body is interested in this giveaway deal......

If I had the room I'd buy it in a heartbeat, good luck to ya!

The engine would be useable,but you would have to change the thermostat housing,as the truck one is different to a passenger car housing,the 4spd gearbox could be used in a passenger car,but you would have to have a 1927 LM series truck universal joint housing,and even then you would only gain a stump pulling 1st gear,top gear is still 1:1,the front axle assy complete with brakes would fit only a 1928 or 1929 passenger car,the rear brake bands & differential assy is larger and longer than a passenger car,the radiator will only fit either 1927 LM,early 1928 LO or 1928 LP series 1 ton trucks or 1927 passenger cars,the steering wheel will suit LM,LO,LP trucks or 1927 passenger cars.CAVEAT EMPTOR!

This complete Chassis is now SOLD.... and Gone to another 1927 one ton Chevrolet truck project...

SOLD.
