This week, something remarkably interesting. The seller states that this is the frame from the first Bantam pickup truck. The first pickup would be body 60012, built February 2, 1938.
According to the seller: “Several years ago the Serial#1 Bantam pickup was restored by a private collector from Ohio. For some reason during the restoration, they decided to use a production frame rather than the prototype frame. I was told by the previous owner to salvage the prototype frame because of it’s significance to this number 1 pickup truck. I believe the Pickup was a 1937 and this frame might possibly be a modified American Austin frame. Anyway, this is being offered “as is” for local pick up only. The frame measures 8′-6″ long and 40″ wide.”
This frame shows the trappings of an early 1938 Bantam frame until your eyes find the point above where the rear axle would be positioned. Oddly, the frame rails have the same flat shape of an American Austin frame, which is then apparently mated to channel imitating a Bantam passenger car frame, although more angularly.
For comparison sake here is a photo with a 39 Bantam frame and two American Austin frames:

If you have some history on this piece, please let me know. I’m very curious to know if this is actually something special or something that has been built out of left over parts.
It is difficult to determine the condition of this fender. However, if you need one you know that sometimes a gamble needs to be taken.

Or, if you need a 1940 Hollywood or Riviera skirted fender:
“If interested please call 503-789-5167; don’t get online often.” It’s located in Oregon.

Here’s something I haven’t seen on ebay in probably a decade, a used PAIR of 65-66 T-5 emblem. The foils look to be in nice condition, except the black anodizing has faded. Also, one appears to have lost two of its mounting pins. However, the plating on the badges looks to be good and pit free. I’m not too sure how you’d re black the emblems, but here is your chance to get a pair of matching emblems for your car.
The last single emblem went for over $400 last week. That emblem was in worse shape than these appear to be.
