Really would like a replacement frame in Arizona, or close to us. Our 64 was from Minnesota, and has suffered severe damage to the frame. Your help is much appreciated.

As far as I know the 1964 Hawks used a heavier gage steel.
Talk to Chuck Naugle in Vail. 520 647 3024
I believe that he is up and running since his latest health scare.
If no luck there go to Bob Peterson in the Bay area and pick one up. I do not think that he ships any.

I just checked my 62 frame as it had no rust and only needed a quick sand blast against my 58 sliver hawk frame that was a rusty Mn frame that needed a hard sand blast and paint. The 62 checked out at anywhere from .1050 to .1040 depending on where it was checked with a dial caliper. which would make it 12 gauge metal as that is .1046. 11 gauge should be .1196 The sliverhawk ran anywhere from .1025-.1040 and seeing as how it was sandblasted hard I would say they where the same thickness when new.

Hi there. This isn't really a "tech" thread. Moving to the General board; please post "wants" in that section. Thanks.

The tech info is: per the Shop Manual specs., the 62 and newer frames were thicker. Using dial calipers to measure 50+ year old frames, in various stages of deterioration, with unknown histories, is not likely to reveal much other than which frame has fared better through the decades, which may have been scraped, brushed, sandblasted, etc..
By being thicker, the 62 and later C/Ks were able to do away with the earlier style, rust prone rockers. I once helped swap a GT frame under a 56J once, and it was noticeably stronger.
So anyone looking to do a frame swap would want to look for a 62 and later, unless just building a TQ.
