Hi Mossie
what type of chassis you are seeking - is it the early type 1955 -56 or the flat suspension type 1956 - 57 or the upright type 1957 til the end of production.

Hi Morrie
I bought two cars some 15 years ago one was a 4 wheeler and one a three wheeler - I think the four wheeler was the middle type as that is what I've got in my collection so the flat suspensoin type - no use to you - are you trying to convert a three wheeler to a four wheeler? it's not that easy!!!!

Hi G-o-g-g-o ,
yes i am trying to convert a 3 to a 4 wheeler . You say its not that easy , have you done it and if so how difficult is it , can you give me any details of problems that i may come across.
i beleive the only difference between 3 an 4 is the on the cross member at the rear which supports the axle on a 4 wheeler , am i correct ? engine mounts are all as a 3 i think !!

Hi Mossie
I assume you have got the 4 wheeler drive and the shock absorbers - mudguards, and wheels - I have only worked on my earlier car and the rear wheels are different to the front ones - you have to put the proper size tyres on it - there are a lot of small bits and pieces to convert it - what manual are you using.

Hi G-o-g-g-o,
I am hoping i will be able to get some shocks , axle etc. off a contact but it is the chassis thats proving hard to get . I was unaware the rear wheels are different sizes, but didnt know if you had any contacts or anyone else with a chassis to sell ? i heard that around 57' onwards they are basicallyl the same and its not too difficult to change over . what small bits do you mean and did you do yours or do you know anyone who has done one .
regards

Hi Mossie,
I've got what you are looking for here in los Angeles. It is a 1958 nonrusted chassis, and body for that matter except someone cut off the roof and the glass is gone. Apparently they were aiming to make a true convertible out of it, but got wise a little late in the game
