frame

I know this is touched on often and I’ve read a lot of the chassis posts on here already but hoping to get more insight. We currently have a 1961 wagon that has the original frame and what we were told was a Volvo motor. After checking it out the motor looks to be a Jeep 4.0 motor (rough...

My truck is a '52, back end of the frame was rusted, front was solid throughout. I found another frame with a bad front but excellent rear, it is from a truck which is '54 or newer because it has the large rear cab mounts. I have cut the replacement frame in the center of the straight stretch...

Gents, I am just getting started rebuilding my CJ3A. I got the frame back from sandblasting, they shot a coat of primer over it to protect it. I've been looking for frame defects to repair before moving forward. I've found one pitted section, one body mount that needs to be redone, one broken...

Time to leave the intro page and start a thread with my truck build. My intentions, at least right now, are to restore to original. But my eyes keep wandering to some of the modified masterpieces here on this forum and I cant help but dream that I’d like MY truck to look like that! But I’m a...

Hey All. Trying to figure out another option for the truck bed. Does anyone have experience with a 1940s Chevy pickup box in lieu of the Willys? From what I have seen the Chevy kits are much cheaper than the Willys and I believe the dimensions are very close. Let me know what you think. Thanks,

Seriously, I have browsed this forum for years and have learned a lot. It's pretty much a non-flame zone which is appreciated. I'm doing a frame swap and have the following available immediately. I'm not trying to make money on the parts, but I'm not adverse to a donation. 1955 Willys Wagon...

While fixing my exhaust the other day I noticed a very odd part on the frame off my wagon. There is a 3 inch tube with a long hinge on the frame. the tube connects to the frame on both sides like some sort of brace right after the transmission and the large hinge is under the drivers side. Could...

Hi, I have a 49 truck that has some frame rot along with a cross member that is rotten out at the same place the frame is. How hard is it to find or make a new cross member? And how hard is it going to be to fix the frame rot through?

Hello, The front part of the frame in my 48 PU is heavy damage, when we started to rebuild the truck i notice it was going to be a problem. So we "temporarily" sold the radiator suports and the grille suport to what was left from the cross member. Alot of months passed and i was able...

I was thinking of welding the crossmembers to frame rails. Is this a good idea or not?

I recently joined after buying this 61 that was stuffed in a garage. I plan to do a restore to make it a decent driveable truck. Not a show queen. It's a Hurricane 226 that just got running yesterday. Relatively quiet, but running on 5 cylinders with a few having low compession. Rebuilt the...
