so I am working on my '53, and after blasting the rust, dust, bird droppings and moss of the frame, there is only one crossmember that needs TLC.

so I am looking for information on chassis/frame supply vendors and have come up empty. is used, and fab my own parts the only two options?

I rebuilt my own frame the crossmember below the rear of the cab was all rusted out and so was the frame so I welded in all new steel sections ,I made patterns out of the old stuff and welded or bolted the new in check frame repair in my photo bucket.At the time I tried to find some new old sections but no one had them if you could find somone with a frame thats cutting it up for parts it would be easyer or find a frame thats good that would be even better.
