Hello, I have a 1957 chevy 3200 and want to convert it to a 3100. I found a short bed frame, with a box thats in nice shape just a few ding's on it, and no tail gate. The frame is bent however, right under where the drivers door would be. The guy wants $800 canadian? and the frame is fixable, what do you's think?

I'd expect to find a comlete truck for 800 in MB, bent frames cause future headaches with steering and tire wear unless you're a very good frame repairman - of course you could lop it off just behind the cab and graft the short rear to yours ohwell

Yeah I was thinking that price was too high. And never even thought of welding that one to mine. Can I just cut a section out of mine right behind the cab and weld it back together? If so is there a procedure for this somewhere Thanks Ryan

Thanks, I'll just keep searching for a short bed frame and box for the meantime
