AA frames and cab
I just found this on Craigslist. I have no affiliation with it, and it seems a bit steep.

A "bit steep" indeed.
Who was looking for early '28 lug nuts? Take a close look at that '28 chassis.

Re: AA frames and cab
I can never understand why someone calls a complete rolling chassis a frame?

I can never understand why anyone calls wheels "rims". The rim is just a part of a modern wheel, although some large trucks and tractors still use separate wheels & rims.

When you mount a tire on a rim the complete unit is a wheel.

Re: AA frames and cab
Chris, that is not correct. The terms started with cars like a Model T. It had a wooden spoked wheel, a steel rim, and a tire. Three separate things. In the later years of Model T production the rim became part of the wooden spoked wheel, and eventually part of the all steel wheels, whether spoke type or disc. One of the largest steel wheel manufacturers was Electric Wheel Co. That co. had nothing to do with tires, other than supplying wheels to mount tires on.

Well Kid, I guess we simply agree to disagree. I am talking about today, not yesterday.

Well Chris, we can agree to disagree. Are you from San Fernando Valley? Valley People are known for having their own unique language.

Re: AA frames and cab
I wouldn't call a bare rim a wheel if it had no tire mounted. A car can run on the rims without the tire.

Re: AA frames and cab
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The rim is the "outer edge of a wheel, holding the tire".
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A wheel is a circular component that is intended to rotate on an axial bearing

Re: AA frames and cab
From Dictionary.com:
rim [rim]
noun
1. the outer edge, border, margin, or brink of something, especially of a circular object.
2. any edge, margin, or frame added to or around a central object or area.
3. the outer circle of a wheel, attached to the hub by spokes.
4. a circular strip of metal forming the connection between an automobile wheel and tire, either permanently attached to or removable from the wheel.
OK you "ValleySpeak" guys, you better tell the dictionary people they don't know your new definitions.

Re: AA frames and cab
According to Chris, when the wheel was invented it was called a rim until the tire was invented.

Re: AA frames and cab
either way i see it as one of those local dialect things such as:
creek or crick
wash or worsh
soda, pop, coke, sodie, etc lol
to me, a wheel without a tire is a rim. Tire and rim is a wheel as either one is relatively useless without the other (in the normal things, yes cars can drive without tires but its not standard lol)
now to throw a stick in the mud why do they call railroad car wheel sets "trucks" haha
