Today's update

Good morning. I have to make main crossmember sections this weekend so I started cutting the motor mount stands today from a 20ft stick of 2.5" square tube. Longest pieces I've set up to cut on the new bandsaw yet. Bought a set oif rubber rolling fence rollers from the steel yard and set up a stand to roll it in towards the saw 6.875" at a time. In no time it had more than the 10 I needed cut. So this morning I'll cut the rest of that stick and then move on to the main tube that's 4x2 rectangle tube. Yesterday and earlier this week I had also been cutting all day on the band saw . Cutting inner and outer sleeves for everything we need here at the CPO shop. I'm surprised myself at how many different size DOM tubes we use for all these parts. Plus so many different thicknesses and lengths. But once I get loads of each cut I can then spend a half hour a day on the lathe turning and then sending parts to the main shop to be welded on or to shipping to be packaged in plastic tube and heat sealed. But this weekend I also have to add an A/C unit to my main welding room. Can't have any fans on tig welding and it's already getting hot here in north Texas.

I'm working on a listing for the crossmember as a package that has everything we offer in one listing. I am doing the strut version first. Then coilover and then bag version. Look for that soon.

Welcome to Chassis Parts Online. We manufacture suspension parts for classic trucks and some other vehicles we have taken an interest in. Our main focus is the F-100 and specifically the popular Crown Vic Subframe swap. In fact I also own the Crown Vic Subframe Swap page on Facebook. I started that page way back in 2014. I did so with the intention of building parts for them at some point. Now I'm doing that as well as parts for one of the things I have done since the 80s and that's minitruck suspension. Specifically air bags and the suspension needed to run air bags.

My background grew from helping my dad with his race cars and in the 80s his shop did front frame clip swaps on 50s Chevy trucks. At the time I had a 66 F-100 and my brother had a 69 F-100 Ranger. We both had 460s in them. We wanted them on the ground as that was a new trend at the time. Yes mid 80s, long before people started lowering these trucks that much. We wanted them minitruck low, scraping the ground. But we weren't about to put a Camaro frame clip under a Ford so we went with Torino clips. The front bumper would touch the top of your shoe. Yes, again mid 80s.

So now after all this time of building custom chassis and suspension I'm finally doing it from my home based shop and working on moving the business to a new building. As we move forward we plan to expland the product line to include all types of 100% bolt on rear suspension for the F-100 like we make for the front. I used to make and sell about a dozen different 4 links, 3 links, triangulated and parallel links as well as watts links and all types of custom chassis including my favorite, a full tube chassis for air ride where the frame is the air tank. Yes we will be building full F-100 chassis at some point. Not high end expensive ones. Just well built, sturdy ones that work. Just bring it home and swap your body parts.

Take a look around this basic shop website. Let me know if you need anything. Thanks
