[50th]

Does anyone have a chart of measurements along with a diagram of the frame/Chassis on a 55 bird?
Need to make sure my frame straight before i get it powder coated
Thanks in advance

I believe I have seen frame dimensions in the back of the Ford Shop Manual

Wayne,

Attached is how you check the frame alignment on a 1955 Thunderbird.

Thanks doug
I assume that there isn't a chart of factory specs only the actual measurement of the existing frame
Just make sure it is square and within the 3/16 tolerance
Thanks Again

Wayne,

In issue number 10 of CASCO’s ThunderEnlightening newsletter, there are frame specifications for a 1957 Thunderbird frame. Since CASCO was asking if anyone had similar specifications for the 1955 and 1956 Thunderbird frames, I can’t be sure if the attached 1957 Thunderbird frame specification would be of any help. If you measure your frame and the specifications are the same, let me know.
