Looking for a 2wd SWB Frame - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

68SWBChevy · 07-09-2009, 09:57 PM

I have a 2wd SWB 68 Chevy that I am restoring. Little did I know when I bought it that the front frame horns are bent. I know I could take it to a body shop and get it straightened which is still an option. Just seeing if something is available in the North Texas, Oklahoma area that is for sale at a reasonable price that is straight that I could pick up and build then just transfer the body over to it. If you have something or know of something please let me know.

Thanks!

James

James....FYI...I had already put my truck back together before I noticed this issue....just for cost comparison...It was $300 to straighten mine....

TTT for you and I hope things get worked out!

I have a 69 swb coil spring rolling 6lug front and rear drum brakes. It is a nice original frame $200.00 But i am in S.E.Texas Beaumont area. A little farther than you wanted. Let me know if this will help.

Thanks for the information GC I appreciate it. I really wasn't sure what it would cost and that might be the direction I end up heading. Haven't really checked on pricing yet. Just curious what does TTT mean? I've seen it and "Bump" on here before but don't have a clue what they mean

It brings your thread 'To The Top' (TTT)....'Bump' does the same thing...
of the parts board or wherever it is posted originally...

Good luck!!

$200 for a rolling short bed chassis is a good deal IMO! Wish you lived closer to me, I'd buy it for my 67!

You know it's not out of the question I would make the drive to Port Neches for the right frame. Can you PM me your email or phone number and I can give you a call. Any chance you can send me some pics? jamesboehler@sbcglobal.net.

Thanks,

James!

Here are a few pictures of frame

**STP67-72** · 07-11-2009, 08:44 PM

I wanted to show you the pictures of the top shock mounts that has been welded up. This is the only problems I see with the frame. These areas could be ground and cleaned up fairly easy. . Hope this helps.
