If I might ask where did you buy the new frame F150 frame and how much was it? I am guessing the factory but I did not know they sold entire frames.

Just made a call to my local dealer and they ordered me a 126" WB frame for a 2012 short bed Regular cab with a 5.0L. After research I found the frame was the same as the 3.5L ECO just a change from the 145" eco (shortest wb you can buy for a eco) to the 126" frame.
The new frame was around 2500.00 or so from what I remember, I was a bit disappointed in how it looked but still worth it. did not expect it to be completely faded out and obvious sitting in the michigan weather for a while.
Frame was build late 2011

Little to no interest in the 64-66 Forum but thought some here may want a update.
Yesterday I actually was able to take the Maiden Voyage in the EcoProject!
Its been a long and rough road for sure.
Here are a couple teaser trailer video's.
Working on the actual but had 4 different camera's rolling & I have no clue how to edit video.
These for now to see how much interest it may generate . .
If anyone is curious the entire build thread is here.
