Default A thread on the construction of original leaf spring frame
On original cars the main frame tubes are 3 inch. Did they use electrically welded seamed tubing? What was the tubing thickness? I have heard or read it was .090 thick. Is this correct ? Now days I think most use 3 inch DOM .120 wall tubing. That type of tubing and thickness was used for the rest of the frame and body support tubing? What type of welding did they use On the main frame? I would think stick on the main frame and maybe torch to weld support tubing.
