    Could use new chassis

     



    Hi guys,
    I would like to ask if anyone knows if there is some where I could get a new chassis for my 1970 caddy. Are their any companies that re pop them.

    Check with Art Morrison out in Oregon or Washington--he has data on most cars

    Or , since your in Illinois, check with the Roadster Shop in Elgin, they make up a lot of frames for the Gms.

    Do you want a stock chassis for the caddy? How much you want to pay and how far are you willing to travel to get one? Lots of ways to improve the ride, handling, and braking on the stock chassis. Not sure what it is you're trying to do, or is the original all rusted or something????

    The original is all rusted by the doors on both sides, all the way threw. If i can get a nice replacement one I would consider and air ride suspension. Willing to travel, I could cut out the rusted area on this one, but to do it right the body needs to come off, and that is properly what I am going to do, you guys known how it goes, one thing will lead to a hole lot of things.

    Might know where there is one, I'll do some checking on it and let you know. Haven't seen it for a few years, but it's a 70 DeVille, good body, no engine and trans. Have to get hold of a friend and see if it's still there!
