Hi All,
Thanks for creating a great forum.
I have just bought a Franklin van. I believe it is late 70's???
Just wondering how I find out what year model it is.
I am attempting to fix it up myself. It has already been gutted and I am wondering what sort of framework it needs?
I can put photos on if need be.
Look forward to receiving some much needed advice! |

I think that the "X" is for 1976.
Mine is "V" for 1974 & "W" for 1975

You have a Franklin Hunter, looks about 12 ft long.
W was 1976 so X is a 77 model.

Scotty Heya Scotty great to see another Franklin, mine was sold to me as a 1976, but looking at the hall of fame, and guru advice i was informed it was likely to be end of 75, you will also see that it appears that V is 1974 - W is 1975- & X is 1976. Mine is registered as 1977 just for confusion!!  |

There are too many Franlkin owner's on this forum...! 
Just kidding, that's a sweet looking little van, so what are your plans, be careful this restoring/modifying classis van/s is bloody addictive. Just last night the wife was chatting away about something...and I was thinking what do I need to buy next for the Millard, glad there wasn't a yes or no answered need when she finished or things could have gotten ugly. 
Welcome and remember the rule.....Pictures we LOVE pictures..
Cheers

mine is a 75 but has a chassis number stamped x What is your fave year? I had a much better 76 than 75 so that is why i like 76 better, plus being halfway between age guesstimates. |
