Re: boxing frame on 52 chev

A guy should be able to make his own with about ten bucks worth of cold roll from the local steel yard though. Especially if you can dig through their remnant pile and maybe buy it by the lb. One of the local farm equipment manufactureing/ welding / machine shops usually leaves their remnants in a pile on the floor by the steel rack for guys to pick through before they load them in the scrap bin. I've bought a lot of metal out of that pile over the past 35 years.
