I need Frame Suggestions

Well I purchased and entire IFS and rear 4 Link Bagged setup from Scotts HotRods, but have recently found out that the oem frame on the truck is shot. Much worse shape than we anticipated and repairing it would take more work than its worth. So now I have all of these beautiful parts with no frame to put them on.

Everything was purchased to go on the factory 55 (2nd Gen) frame, so my questions is am I limited to that frame with these parts or are there other frames than can take these parts?

If anyone has a line on a 55-57 Frame please let me know. I am located in Clearwater FL and ready to purchase immediately if someone has what I need.

Any insight on the subject would be great as I am uncertain what my options truly are.

Thanks

Check with Rich at Purple Monkey Kustoms in Umatilla, FL He is on the FB AD truck page I am on a lot and does a lot of frame/chassis swaps and often has stock frames left.

If he doesn't have one at the moment he may know where one is that is in good shape and available.

fyi... 55.1 to 59 are all the same, makes your pool of donors bigger

depending on your budget you could ask scott's to build you a frame

Thanks! I have contacted them and he is checking with a buddy he thinks may have one! I really appreciate the help.

I thought they were all the same but wasn't 100% certain.

BTW... My hats off to you for your build! That truck is beautiful!
