Part of my frame is missing! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Chevy4Life** · 06-28-2003, 09:32 AM

O.K. So as i'm loading my 67' on the trailer I realize the front of the frame had been cut off

and the brand new bumper had been rigged on to cover it. I was freaking out since the main reason I bought the truck was to have a matching title, frame, and cab. After calming down and thinking about all the frames I've seen shortend here, I'm sure I can weld on new pieces and make it look clean.

So, does anyone have a scrap frame with good front frame rail ends that they would be willing to hack off and ship to me?

I'd like to get from behind the core support bracket forward so I have a good reference point and room to step or z weld it.

I'm more than willing to pay for your time and shipping, and I'd rather deal with one of you instead of trying to get a junkyard to hack one up.

Here is a pic CPNE posted. Hope he doesn't mind me using it. I circled the piece I'm looking for.

Thanks

Got them, how about $20 and shipping for my efforts. I have to haul the torches out to the south 40 to get this done. Shipping by UPS should only be about $10.

If that is too much money just let me know...and make me an offer.

I can do the same thing, i have a spare frame. let me know

**Chevy4Life** · 06-28-2003, 05:47 PM

progress,
My only concern is that since I HAVE to replace these I'd like them to be solid and straight. If they are PM me your address and I'll get $30 in the mail. Thanks a lot! and it is a 1/2 ton BTW.

stelth2002,
Thanks for the offer, I'll let you know if I don't get a PM from progress.

**Chevy4Life** · 07-16-2003, 01:58 AM

O.K. progress's turned out to be a pretty bent up.

Anyone else have a nice set they would hack off for me?

MOTHERTRUCKERS · 07-16-2003, 06:36 AM

I have some nice ones in Florida if you can't find them closer.

Burnsman · 07-16-2003, 07:38 AM

I'm getting ready to send a frame to the scrap yard that has nice rails in the front. Shipping would probably kill ya though. Let me know if interested.

Slammed67 · 07-16-2003, 09:18 AM

stelth2002 · 07-16-2003, 10:17 AM
