Frame rails

Is there a place to get new manufactured frame rails (not the complete frame) for a '55 F-100 simular to what I've seen for the '32 Ford coupes ? So you can build it up from scratch like a hot rod.

I would contact the folks that sell the new frames for these trucks and ask if you can purchase just the frame rails.

I didn't think there was anyone selling frames. Did I miss a source? Otherwise, you can find frames in classifieds or on eBay occasionally.

There are quite a few companies that sell modernized frames and exact duplicates of the '55 frame. If you get a chance pick up a copy of Classic Trucks magazine, you'll find about 10 ads for effie frames. Some company names to search for are FatManFab in NC, No Limit Engineering in SoCal, BobsF100 in AZ and TotalCostInvolved also in SoCal. If I spent a few minutes looking I could probably find a few more in this one magazine. Are you looking for a stock replacement or one with an upgraded front suspension? Add .com to the names above and shop around. Good luck and enjoy.
