Jes' surfin and one link lead to another...you know...and I came across this site

Looks like he'll be making custom frames for our trucks soon. How do you reckon that'll pan out, and what would the advantages be?

Good question...I'm signed on for input from others.

I ride a Victory motorcycle and realize that it's a great thing when a vendor makes a product for any particular vehicle. So, I reckon in that regard it's a good thing they plan on building something for our year trucks. I guess it'll be for more custom trucks than mine.

I'd rather find a good set of back window louvers though....

It would probably be very expensive but would probably ride like a new present day truck .

Judging by his efforts for other models, the new frame should have a great ride and handle like a sports car.

but it will be pricey!

I agree totally. I don't think it'll be much of a market for our truck frames as compared to 1st gen Camaros, Barracudas, 55-57 Chevy's, Fastback Mustangs, etc. Our trucks don't really bring big money like those cars. Therefore, I don't see a guy spending $10,000-$15,000 on a frame for a truck. Sure, there will be some buyers. But, not as many as the muscle car genre. Just my opinion.

all depends on how deep people pockets are

**67cheby** · 11-16-2010, 07:35 PM

i dont think i want to add up how much i have in my frame !!! it might have made more sense to buy a $10000 frame and saved the time and headache !! for you who have a seriously modified frame, figure out how much cash and how much time....... it might come out in the long run

Hahahah!! I have to agree with you there 67cheby. I stopped counting the dollars on my Chevelle at appoximately $50k...no bull. So, I can definately understand your point on that. I now look back and try to add it all up and cannot for the life of me see where all the money is in the car.

They replied to my e-mail inquiry saying that they had a full frame design in the works for our trucks. It is in the design stage with no timetable as to availability.

I jes' wanted to make sure they weren't jes' making front spndles or something.
I like knowing that the aftermarket is expanding for our vehicles.
