Aftermarket Frames?
With all the street rod trucks out there, somone has to be making frames. I'm looking for an aftermarket frame for my 72 SWB?
Thanks, Whit |
Re: Aftermarket Frames?
Check out the november 2006 issue of classsic trucks. They revue a new chassis on page 63! It is from jim meyer racing.
Here is there web site for the chassis, www.jimmeyerracing.com Hope this helps. Aaron |
Re: Aftermarket Frames?
Yep, for $9K (plus tax and truck freight) you too can have a new frame assembly :crazy: .

Re: Aftermarket Frames?
That frame does look nice. But I would rather build my own after seeing some of the great works of art on this board. I would thing I could do a modified C4 setup for $8k, but you know how that whole budget thing goes.

Re: Aftermarket Frames?
These guys are right down the road from me, awesome. Maybe I can get a more reasonable deal on what I need. I don't want any suspension or mounts. I want a bare frame so I can add on a my own custom suspension.
Thanks for the info, Whit |

It doesn't seem very impressive for $9k.

Re: Aftermarket Frames?
So for you guys at home that have cleaned, rebuilt and updated a frame what has it cost you?
CHASSIS - INCLUDES ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS- BODY MOUNTS, HEAVY DUTY I.F.S. WITH 11" DISC BRAKES, COIL OVER SHOCKS, POWER RACK AND PINION, 4-BAR REAR SUSPENSION AND REAR COIL OVER SHOCKS. 60-87 CHEVY PICKUP CHASSIS $8995.00 http://www.jimmeyerracing.com/pu2a_large.jpg $8995 does seem like a lot, but how close to that would I be if I bought a used SWB frame and then cleaned and finished the frame, rebuilt the entire front end, added big brakes, put new motor mounts in and did a 4 bar rear suspension? I don't think it would be that much less......... |
Re: Aftermarket Frames?
thats a nice looking chassis and thats tabout the going price for a quality streetrod framew with no chrome// i would like to see a bit more bracing in it like a stout K-member for a real rigid unit

Re: Aftermarket Frames?
It is a nice piece but what are you gaining unless you don't have a good frame to start with? You can buy tubular control arms and coil overs or air bags for the stock front end and save a bunch. On the rear NASCAR still uses our truck's original truck arm design in Nextel cup so if it's good enough for them it's good enough for me.

That frame seems to be stepped in the front (or Z'd) and the back has a step to avoid having to notch it. This frame is going to make you mega low.

Re: Aftermarket Frames?
Art Morrison offers new frames as does fatman fabracations
Art Morrison ones have corvette options reasonably priced and they look better than the Jimmy Meyer ones,plus, not first hand, offer much better customer service |
Re: Aftermarket Frames?
I see. If you don't mind the stock frame you could always buy just the frame. I have seen them for sale in the classifieds section.
