New member suggestions for full custom chassis 1952 Chevy 3100

I have been wanting to build a Ad truck for sometime so I recently picked up a 1952 Chevy 3100, originally I was going to build a truck from scratch and this one will be close only saving is the cab. I am looking to order a new chassis for this truck I have $ from TCI, art Morrison, roadster shop, and no limit. I also considered doing a bolt together frame from speedway motors but am leaning towards no limit big 10. I will be running a 525hp ls3 in this truck if I go with custom, or 383 with the speedway kit. does anybody on here use any of the chassis hat I am contemplating ?

The Art Morrison chassis is a very nice piece. There is 1 being used on this forum that I know of. Rob and the guys at No Limit make some very nice chassis. He is also a forum member and is very willing to help.

If my budget allowed it would be a toss up between these two. As far as performance goes both of these are top notch. No Limit does use a modified truck arm rear suspension that is very tunable.

Stephenshane237 is living the dream...
i think all of us would have enjoyed buying a completed aftermarket frame at one time

all the vendors you mention offer quality goods. though the bolt together frame scares me a bit
all offer the bare frame to a complete painted rolling chassis with plumbed mc and brake lines

I have narrowed it down to TCI custom IFS and 4 link, and the no limit big 10 I am looking for a good ride but decent handling with the ls3 decisions decisions

thats what I am hoping for and I can get that chassis finished with fuel tank and lines ran for close to the same money as TCI after upgrades
