56 F100 Frame

Does anyone know of a company that makes aftermarket frames for the 56 F100?

I am looking for stock or upgraded front end.

Thanks

56 F100 Frame

I don't know what a full frame is worth, but I would like to pick up a front clip in southeast Mich to use for mock up purposes, for a reasonable price. I want to set up for a Jag front suspension without raising the front of my truck(it's pretty low), or tieing it up for an extended time. Any one have one?

Thanks,
Larry

Larry, I may have what you need, I started restoring a 53 but so much was missing it was going to cost a fortune so I just recently bought a 56 that is pretty well complete, anyway I now have a chassis and a cab that I would like to get rid of because they are taking up a lot of room, they are disassembled but I will make you a good deal on whatever your interested in. I live in Indianapolis so it would be within driving distance for you, if interested e-mail me at dwj9124(No Email Addresses In Posts!) thanks.

Larry, I also forgot to mention that I have everything else to make up the front clip, hood, fenders, inner fenders, radiator support, etc. Thanks.

Dave, I thank you for your offer, but the reason I wanted a front clip is the same reason you want to get rid of your frame. I don't have room for a full frame. I will keep it in mind though.

Thanks,
Larry

old post but searching them lead me to this one,
I too would like to know what a frame is worth. I am thinking a new frame with the IFS and IRS, power brakes, steering etc would be cheaper than buying it all separately.
I also am staring at a garage full of good sheetmetal, a patio full of cab (good condition, stripped and $$$$ to fill im afraid) and a frame sitting on the side of my house that needs to go if i go this route. How much would you guys pay for a complete one that that will allow me to swap the good stuff i have. I only have $400 invested so far,not counting books and mags and internet groups lol. which i know is the tip of the iceberg
