WTB Frame horns - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

nu2-72 · 10-13-2004, 09:27 AM

I am needing the frame ends for the front of a 4x4. Seems that the previous owner put the wrong tow hooks on the truck and torched the spring hangers. Then they wallered out the mounting holes for the wrong hooks. Then they pulled something very heavy and tore the core support brackets and the frame. What a mess.
I need from the cross brace forward.
Anyone? 64504

I believe that I have one side that is good. I will check and let you know which side it is if it will help you.

Thank you.
Ed at Mothertruckers had the rivets so I am going to try to replace them the right way. Just need parts.

I have a pair of frame horns from a 1/2 two wheel drive. They look the same as the 4X4 I have here except where the body/shackel mounts to it. Looks like they might work. I can get pics if you want to compare.

sounds to me like you need a new frame.

Numbers match on this one.

I have both frame horns, the right one has a good mount on it but the left one looks like the torch man got to the bracket also, as only part of it is left.

They are available but if you can find some closer you will be better off as they are fairly heavy.

Thanks everyone. What I really need are the hangers and support mounts. I just figured that it might be easier to cut the frame off instead of drill the rivets out. I think that I can fix the frame problems.
I have had another member offer some parts and he is a lot closer. Let me look at what he has and I will get back with you.
Thanks again. I really want to get this frame to the shop before winter but need it to be right first.
