Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Sep 2014 Posts: 30 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2014 Posts: 30 | I just purchased a 1955 Chevy 6400. Some modifications were made to the rear of the frame. I was wondering what frames (years, models) would be a drop-in replacement for the one I have.
Any suggestions? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | 55 1st series or 2nd series? big difference, 55.2 > 59 are pretty much the same, 55.1 would be siilar to previous years, at least 54, maybe older
Bill | | | | | Joined: Sep 2014 Posts: 30 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2014 Posts: 30 | It is a 2nd series. So you think any frame up to '59 would work? What about a 4000, 5000 vs. 6000 models? Are they different? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2014 Posts: 30 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2014 Posts: 30 | Does anyone know where to look to find a new frame? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 | LewyBoys, Not sure you will ever find a "new" frame, but you might find a used one in a junk yard. I might have on here if you're up for a road trip to Maryland... Any 1955-2 thru 1957 4400, 4500 or 6400 frame will be the same as what you have. The 1958/59 frames are different.

I don't expect to find a new one but wanted to identify which truck models to search for to find one. Thanks for the tips. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,159 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,159 | | | |
