Frame A203A?
« on: July 02, 2026, 09:01:09 AM »
Just because I'm curious, what does the description "frame A203A" really designate? 
I have seen a few LMIV frames on EU eBay listed as "A203A".  AI tells me "A203A" refers to "authentic vintage or replacement chassis". 
Who, what, where determined that?  Again, just curious.

Frame replacement, frames are marked. If you buy just a frame in parts as new. There is no model tag, square riveted tag on headstock or bracing.
So, you get a frame with this number stamped on it.  Just a guess, I will bet Joe W knows, or Charlie.
Could be the part number.
Just looked, not PT#, There is #1 & 1A & 1B in parts depending on what is welded on headstock.

Good Luck on answer

Found the seller you mention, seems all their listings are followed by numbers similar to that structure; guessing it's their way to locate inventory, like a location on their shelves, etc. Like warehouse location numbers for pickers.
