While rebuilding my rear brakes this weekend, and looking for a place to hang my trouble lamp, I was looking at the underside of my '60 Lark wagon, something I've never really done before. It is very clean underneath, no rust anyplace. I am amazed at the amount of undercoating the factory applied, and how well it is still bonded to the metal after almost 53 years. What I was really looking at though was how heavy the frame appears to be, in comparison to other frames I'm familiar with that are basically a "U" channel laid on it's side.
The frame on my wagon looks more like a frame that has been boxed on all 4 sides. Are all the Lark frames built like this, or was the wagon frame built heavier? This frame looks beefier than the frame on my '57 F-100 shortbed!
