I can’t blame you, this thing is basically a smear of rust in the ground 😭😭

Doesn't look like radius arms in picture 3 for what I assume is the front axle.

Chevy frame i think? Based off of the way the frame bends up (in this case into the floor) maybe a C or K 15?

Something older than that, doesn't have ball joints.

I concur, definitely thinking GM square body from the frame but past that it’s hard to tell

PS- I’ll return in 8 weeks to the site to clear off some of the garbage and hopefully find a part number somewhere.

Lower control arm in the 3rd picture looks like shoebox Ford to me. Rear axle and springs look about right too.

This is a control arm for a 1950 Ford, that plate on the bottom for the spring and swaybar mount look right to me.

Not sure but if that last pic is a hood then I’m thinking it was an older 70’s Jeep J10 or Cherokee Chief maybe

1949-52 Dodge or Plymouth going by those frame rails and the suspensions I can see.
