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



$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.........
