hey now that Dynacorn can make replacement bodies for 1st gen camaros and ect... is there a company out there yet that can make factory short bed (swb) frames for 67-72 C10s?

There are several frame companies that can build a custom frame for any vehicle.Most who are going to want a new frame will be doing major suspension mods also,so they tend to be designed with airbags,four links and other more exotic(compared to factory) set-ups.Most are custom ordered to the builders spec.Most of these can be adapted to a stock frame but if you're changing the suspension set-up and the wheelbase you would probably make the conversion easier by starting fresh.I haven't heard of any that repop a stock frame,mainly because the demand isn't there since there are so many originals around for LWB that can be cut down.
