I prefer it not be on the ground, but sat up a little higher in the back like some of the ones you pictured and like this one:

WB3 is right about a stock Model A frame..........I have one under my '27 and by the time I boxed it, filled the holes, added crossmembers, etc, I had more time and money in it than if I had just bought a reproduction frame to start with.
There are some very good reproduction rails out there now, and one '32 frame is even made in two halves per side so it is UPSable.
I just noticed your post. Those are the most simple of all, first one is unchanneled on what looks like an A frame, and the second one looks the same, except channeled.

That is classic hot rod right there, Model A body on a '32 frame. They even make one now that is preflattened so the A body sits correctly on it (original Deuce frame has a little downward curve to the top edge) I think they come already pinched in an inch or so also so the cowl meets up properly.

Yeah, I like that look, I think I'm gonna look for a deuce frame
I had a sedan build planned, even had an old chopped body. My idea was to open up the back along the seam and make it a lift like a mini van. That way you could have nice fixed seats and not have to crawl over them to get stuff out of the back. But not everyone packs around as much crap as I do.lol
