Need info on full custom frame for 47-55 Chevy - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey all,
I am helping a friend with a 54 Chevy custom. It's super exciting because my friend can afford to do all the things I wish I could do to mine!

The plan was to do an IFS kit but after removing the bed from the frame it has some fairly extensive rust damage. I brought up the idea of looking for a full custom frame and he was interested in going that route. I haven't done a bunch of research on these years and don't even know what all is out there. My truck is a little newer and I couldn't afford to go that route regardless.

Does anyone have any personal experience? Any thing they would rule out or recommend?

Porterbuilt may be an option? You still on here buddy?
