Frame thickness

Outlaw56 posted that he also has a f-100 and an F-250 and the F-250 frame is thicker. I think he said they are 56s. On the F-1 and F-2 and F-3, someone posted that the the F-1 frame is .015 thick and the F-2,3 are .019 thick.
Oops, I did mean .15 thick and .19 thick. Thanks to Last chance 53

I think you mean .150 and .190 ! That is about what the two 1953 frames I have are. I do not have a f350 frame to check.
