    I've not got a Masterparts book that lists these frames. Bob ? Are you there? I was told that the front bumper horns  attachment is different. From photos , I can't see a difference.  Been offered a 52 chassis cheap . good for X member and body mounts, spares  etc.  Q

Hi Q,
 just saw your post. The MPB shows different frames between 52 & 53. I'm not sure what the differences might be. I'm sure they're minor.

Quentin,

Otto is directing you to the Modified Chapter Documents section.  There's a Chilton's there but only goes through 1952, may help to compare to your 53 though.

Quentin, you are correct. the only difference in the 53 and 52 frames is the front bumper horns. Dave
