Hey Guys,
I am looking for a good replacement frame for my '53 hardtop. I believe
that from '53 to about '61 they should be interchangeable. I am located
in Maryland and don't mind traveling a few hundred miles, if anyone has
something I can buy. Any leads would be appreciated, also.
Thanks |

Stay away from any 6-cylinder early C/K frames... Best choice is a GT
Hawk frame (you have to remove 2-brackets), next best choice is 1961
Hawk (there is some ambiguity whether the frame is thicker than earlier
years...but nothing concrete), The V-8 C/K frames from '55-'60 are the
same... somewhat better than your original frame.... but not enough of
an "improvement".

just a "FYI" - aside from possibly having to swap brackets around, a
58-up frame will have different rear spring hangers than an earlier
frame (the springs became asymmetrical at the same time that the
driveshaft was changed from 2-piece to one piece)

I have a GT Hawk frame here, and that will work fine.

Bob Peterson from CandB Studebaker from the bayarea is
bringing a load of California frames to Reedsville.
You will have to order them ahead of time. 510 390 8111.
He will drop your frame off along Interstate 80 if you want. >> Stay informed about: Need a C/K frame in good shape |

Larry Damn, dug it out and found it's from a Lark, don't waste a trip.
Lee D. in Fort Wayne might be able to bring a GT frame to Reedsville.
