Are these indents on the bottom side of the frame rails also? Or only on the top sides? Pictures only show top sides.
The answer to that, might be a clue as to whether it was something odd that happened to a run of parts at the factory. If only the top side, it kind of lessons that possibility (something that just hapoened to a parts run) if only one frame rail was made for both left and right.
Was looking at my M frame rails the other day. Don't really know why. But got me to wondering if the left was identical to the right, just flipped over bottom side up. Kind of decided it was likely. And if they are? Maybe the Super W6's are too. Not same as M, but same as far as left and right. If so, then what it's like on the bottom would be a clue. A clue as to whether it was done on purpose.
Basically any 1938 F-20's that I have ever seen, has a nub on the top of the top radiator casting. A nub that is not there on pre 38 F-20s. No reasoning for it. Something must of happened to thier master sand mold at the foundery. Stuff like this did happen.
Another instance, I seen some steel wheels for an H or M. Skeleton with the paired lugs. Something must of happened to the sand mold for the lugs. They all had a weird casting mark. Every pair of lugs on the wheels, had that odd but identical mark. It was on the flat backside of the lug. The part that is up when stuck in the ground. So it didn't wear off over time neither.
I'm not suggesting a sand mold problem in your case. I doubt the channel iron part of a frame rail was poured anyways. More likely extruded. But I could be wrong. Just giving you a couple examples of parts run flub ups.
