Eric, The frame, transmission, and springs are in the usual shape - old and rusty but solid. Yes the front diff is a Chevy but it is original to the truck (ask Bob to explain the "why"). The only things removed from the truck were tons of paint chips, old rusted non-CMP parts and a good load of mouse shit. The orange Ford is the only CMP Ford we have at the barn. I do have a Ford cab (very good floor but back of cab needs lots of metal work), front nose (excellent condition), doghouse (good condition) that should go to a good home because they have not yet and won't find too much use here.

The Ford parts can go at any time - PM me for photos. There are others who have expressed an interest in the orange Ford, so I will give them a chance to voice their desires before offering it up. More later.

Hi,

I got a request for photos of the HUP (44 or older) bumper mounting brackets. Believe it or not, I only had one HUP nearby with said brackets. They appear to be 8 inch by 4 inch plate metal (same thickness as the frame) that has been bent 90 degrees forming an even "L" shape. As seen in the photo, the end of the frame side bracket has been cut on an angle leaving approx one inch bottom of the bracket. Three holes are drilled on the frame mounting end which held rivets, and four holes drilled in the bumper end to match the "D" rings. I am not sure if the weld was a post war mod or not.

I suspect that the weld is a modification rather than a production line effort. Off the top of my ever more hairless head, I can't think of any factory welded joints on a Chev frame.
There are some odd mixtures of bolts and rivets too, some of them can be explained by assembly order and access, others look like either a rivet failed and was replaced by a bolt or someone either had to remove a part that had been riveted and used bolts to reassemble or sometimes another part was added that used an original rivet hole, drilled out and replaced by a bolt.
