1957 frame question

Hi everyone I have a question. I'm getting this frame off Craigslist. It says it's a 57 and it has a Dana 44 for the rear and coil springs. Just wondering did this come stock on these? Thanks for any info.

Guy has pulled the ad so not pics, but no coils and 44 were not original. Did the guy add swing arms or 4 link?

No swing arms or 4 link. He found out that it was added later by a family memeber. But I purchased it from him. It in great shape.I'm not going to use the dana44 anyways.. Thanks for the reply though OrrieG.

Re: 1957 frame question

got any pics of the recent purchase? what will you use it under? the frame length out front is shorter from 55-57 then the 4 eyed trucks of 58-59.easy fix for that though because the steering and springs are in the same place. rad support is located a bit further forward as well.
