WTB fairly complete chassis

Post by colonelpowers » Wed Feb 11, 2026 9:14 am

I recently inherited a good 17 engine sitting on a garbage late production chassis. I have been halfway looking for the bits to make make something usable out of this chassis but it needs everything. It would be easier to locate something better than it would be to find everything that this is needing. I just thought that I'd ask if anyone within a few hours drive of Southwest Virginia might have anything sitting around. I have a nice set of wheels and the rebuilt engine and at the moment am only hoping to make a driveable chassis so if you have anything rusting away in the weeds that might work please let me know. Thanks and God Bless

For something like this my suggestion is to hook up with the Model T Ford Club International chapter - "Shenandoah Valley RackeTers".
They put on the Luray Pre War Flea Market and Model T tour.
https://modelt.org/chapter-directory

While they are not really close (or really far) they know of lots of people and parts in the area.
They might be able to hook you up with something.

Stuff is out there , Finding it can be hard sometimes.

Do you have any contact information for Mader's? I looked on the computer and found the address but couldn't find a telephone number.
