Vintage Dodge truck frame

[rick5.2]

I was wondering, probably a shot in the dark, if anybody out there had an old truck frame kicking around they wanted to part with. 1930s-1960s vintage. Want to build a rat rod and have a 318 to put in it. I live in Chester, CT Thanks.

A '55 has a nice body style, how is the body? You are kind of a haul from where I am but if it would be worth my while I might consider it. What would you want for the frame? And maybe some mounting brackets if they are still usable? There's other things I can probably use, but give me a ballpark figure? Thanks - Rick

Your just looking for a rolling frame? I have a 42 Dodge that I am probably going to put on a Dakota so the frame will be of no use to me anymore. My truck is from California so its in excellent shape as well. Was supposedly stored in a barn for 20+ years. The only hitch though is I wasn't going to start to tear my 42 apart till next spring and thats assuming I find a good Dakota Donor for the right price by than. I am trying to find a 97 and up and ones that have been the right price have been 4x4 or long bed. Around here its hard to find 2wd short beds cause they are aweful in the winter to drive.

That sounds pretty sweet too but Wisconsin is a little out of my range. I have a '93 Dakota standard cab, short bed with the 5.2. Yeah it might be fun in the snow. Heh

To bad you didn't have a 97 frame, I want the updated suspension, we could have done a frame swap.

No my '93 is in good shape, runs great. You haven't been able to find anything on ebay or anything? It is hard to find anything decent on there that isn't a week's ride from here. I swear I've seen some parts on there that are what you are looking for though. -Rich

I'd use my Dakota to pull it back from there, all I would need is a small trailer. I'll email you.
