Bill, the frame is TWO pieces as you suspect. I purchased a new frame in 1998 and recently had to take it off due to the chrome blistering real bad...what I discovered was it had rusted out. I blamed the chrome plater on this one but wouldn't you know he just went out of business. Note: my truck had been in the rain only twice since it was installed.

So, I ended up "trashing" the frame trying to get it apart and ended up buying a NEW frame. I got my new one from JimCarter and it was $375 with shipping. I did order a Chrome frame though. I think steel was about $275. It came with the two pieces to put the frame together and it also came with the two little stainless clips to clip over the joints.

Good luck on getting it apart. Be patience.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
