I found mention of similar rims on a 1923 coupe on another board and that sounds about right to me. Let me know if you can use them, I'd love to see them go to a good home.

I bought these years ago and was told they were off a Packard and I'd like them to find a new home but I can't figure out what year they would fit? These are Firestone 32x4 1/2" disk wheels with a 6" hub hole and 5 lugs. I have 6 of them with 4 lock rings. Anyone interested in these or know what year they may fit?
Thanks
Todd

Mike, I believe I got seals and bearings from Max Merrit and the springs were custom. I gave Eaton my old springs and they replicated them. They had old books on hand to figure out the proper amount of "spring" they needed based on year, body type and wheelbase. I still haven't put a body on that frame to know if they ride at the correct height.

I didn't have any blocks in the suspension on my 733. You will probably run in to a lot the same problems I did while working on my car. I documented the chassis rebuild here, it may help you out:

Thanks. I just picked up a pile of rough sawn ash lumber and have a line on a big grizzly planer just in time for Christmas. I still need more ash so if any of you are in the Detroit area and have some extra 8/4 or 12/4 ash wood let me know. Turns out, kids are expensive and my Packard budget isn't what it used to be.

Mike, I have a similar project I'm working on just outside Detroit so not too far away from you. I am leaning towards doing a woody body so I have many sedan body parts you may be interested in (like doors). I have an extra set of the steel inner and outer A pillars too if you think you could use them. If you go in to the projects area of the website you can find my build blog that may help you as you start to rebuild the chassis. Good luck. Send me an e-mail at tfee16811 at gmail if you need help with something. Oh, and let me know if you plan on parting with those rear fenders.

Looks to be a 38 or 39 dashboard and a few boxes of goodies here:

Here is a link to the CL ad that I found, the owner wasn't able to get me any photos but he did let me know that the frame is for a 126" wheelbase car and that it has 8 lugs per tire which I believe makes it a 1928 526 or 1929 626. Unfortunately the wheels have been cut down to fit 15" rims.

Maybe someone here can use some late twenties chassis parts. The price is certainly right. The car is in Richfort, VT. so I am unable to go look at it.

Thanks OD, I'll try and get some photos to clarify, I haven't seen it in person.

The owner says it's stamped in to the top of the drivers side frame rail ahead of the firewall and has a star in front of it. My 733 has a similar stamp although the number is preceded and followed by a star.
