I'm not too sure on that but both my 62 Chevy's had this frame and I know I never made more torque than any open frame could have handled.

I actually prefer the 63-72 style - open or "channel" frame from a build-perspective - Easier to make upgrades, clean, prep, paint, plumb, etc. at home... I.M.H.O.

It is what it is.

My truck and I share "birth" years so I'm going to stay with the 62...

at least until another rusted Chevy truck becomes available ;^)
