Hey guys,
I want some feedback from someone who has gone with a TCI frame. I am building a 53 chevy 3100 short bed. I am curious if anyone has used the TCI frame and how did it fit?
Thanks
Jim

Its a builders special. The crossmember is welded in for a Mustang II and the rear is set up for leaf springs. I got them to weld in the motor mounts for a small block and include the trans mount. Price is $3,900.00
The frame has a 8" rail boxed and also includes the cab mounts.

Sounds like a sturdy chassis. What truck are you putting under it again?
