1940 Ford Chassis question

Who could recommend someone to build a 40 ch***is for a pickup project I want to start?. I want to retain the complete original drivetrain. I can find plenty of street rod frames on the internet, but nothing close to stock.

I've looked at several gennie frames but all of them had problems with rust that I don't want to deal with on this project.

Thanks!!

 

try 'ch***is engineering' in west branch, Iowa. I used all their stuff under my 40 cpe. good luck

 

Yep, I'm familar with them, and I've used their stuff too. I'm looking for a complete new frame.

Good original frames are hard to find. And the market for stock repops is just not there.

Any 35-40 frame will work.

Have you tried an ad on the Ford Barn site?

Heinzman specializes in rehabilitating 35-40 frames and up grading them for use with later motors and upgraded suspensions. They may be able to provide you with a good stock frame or revitalize the one you already have. I understand they have a stash of frames and also do exchanges.

 

These guys are also in in the West Tennessee area and may be able to help.

Worth a phone call.

 

Thanks for the leads guys. I'll make some phone calls Monday and see what turns up.

 

TCI makes a great frame
