This is a boxed and heavily braced 1967-72 shortbed c10 frame that uses all factory body mounts, teering component mounts, otor mount holes, nd requires no modifications to the bed floor or inner fenders. The frame rails were boxed with 11 gauge steel and were gapped,beveled, elded and ground smooth. The bracing is all 11 gauge as well and has an adjustable trans mount that sits at the same height as factory.The frame is obviously much more rigid than a stock frame but the bare frame and crossmembers only weighs about 75 lbs more than the stock frame and crossmembers and by the time you compare coilovers to stock springs/shocks and the weight difference between stock trailing arms and the 4 link tubular arms the weight difference is about 50 lbs. The setup is designed to be either a 3/5 drop or a 4/6 drop but everything is adjustable front and rear. The rear has been recentered in the wheel opening as opposed to some lowered trucks where the wheel sits close to the front of the wheel opening. There are 3 1/2 in diameter exhaust cutouts in the frame to allow a tucked clean looking exhaust system. The front crossmember was acid dipped to get all the rust even on the inside and the frame was sandblasted before and lightly again after all the fab work was done. ALL body mounts and crossmember seams were seamsealed, verything was bodyworked,sprayed with epoxy, hen hi-build primer, anded down once and sprayed again with hi-build. The front end includes RIDETECH strong arms upper and lower A arms for added strength,geometry, nd caster adjustabilty for aggressive driving, 1/2 in drop spindles, IDETECH musclebar sway bar with posi-links and all 4 wheels are height and rebound adjustable with RIDETECH handling series coilovers. Even the A arm u-bolts and crossmember hardware are larger than factory. The rear is a ford 9 inch that is narrowed to the same width as stock and has a rebuilt posi unit(at MOSER engineering) and new 3.70 gears along with new 31 spline MOSER axles with a 5 by 4.75 bolt pattern to allow for more wheel options. Its held in place by a slightly modified NO LIMIT ENGINEERING 4 link FATBAR setup that gives much more stabilty and adjustabilty compared to stock. To duplicate this frame by yourself parts and materials alone would cost 7k or more. For any questions or more pics email, all, r text 2606023901.
