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.

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.
