Frames?!
Im currently in the market for a 2 wheel drive half ton frame. What exactly should i be looking for? I kinda want a swb but I dont think i can find a box for it. I have a long box. Is it to hard just to cut down? Any help is appreciated.

Re: Frames?!
what are you asking for?
Are you asking for opinions on what you should build? Shirt verses long? Are you posting a wanted to buy thread for a frame? For a bed? |

Re: Frames?!
Sorry I guess i didnt really make that clear. Im about to build a half ton truck. I need a frame, i have a box but its a long box and needs some work. Im asking is there anything in particular i should look for? As in rust, some model types, and i guess the short versus long debate. Are short beds that much harder to find? Oh and this truck is not going to used for hauling anything really at all.
Ozman Thanks for the offer but thats a little out of my way for the time being. I might check with you later and see if its still on craigslist. Last edited by Wideopenracing15; 09-08-2009 at 07:52 PM. |

Re: Frames?!
Shortboxes seem to be the most popular and that may be the reason why they are so hard to find. I really haven't been searching to hard over the many years but I have always seen a long box and thought looks cool but when a shortbox flew by I was just drooling and dreaming. Go short but thats just my opinion.
