#1 Schwartz Performance Chassis Dealer
You are bidding on a "base" chassis only, call for adding Brakes, rearend and shocks.
Full frame chassis, now available for 1978-87 vehicles, has been upgraded to full mandrel bent frame rails. This not only provides a much sleeker and refined look, it adds even more strength to an already solid chassis, allowing us to remove much of the cross-bracing in the center of the chassis. This opens up your cars underside to new routing options for exhausts, brake lines and fuel lines.
Base CHASSIS includes:
A fully welded chassis, built on a precision jig
Adjustable transmission crossmember
All front and rear suspension components (excluding coilovers): control arms, ball joints, tie rods, power rack & pinion, aluminum front wheel hubs with bearings, and teflon-lined heim joints for a quieter & bind-free suspension
Payment terms: 75% down at time of order, remaining 25% due before shipment.
Shipping: For an assembled frame, we use an enclosed car transporter. If you don’t want the frame assembled, we’ll ship it truck freight in a crate. There is a crating fee which will be determined upon ordering.
1978-1988 G-Body chassis features:
Mandrel-bent 2x3 main frame rails. 119lb LESS than stock frame w/complete suspension. 200% less flex torsionally than stock frame. Up to 275 wide tires up front, up to 345 wide tires in rear with minitub.
At this time
, only Chevy engine mounts are available. We'd need a car here to mock up a 3.8T, Pontiac, or Olds engines.
Only things needed to be done by customer/builder: Exhaust system (we have stainless headers available for LSx engines), fuel tank relocation- spare tire well needs to be cut out & tank moved over. We supply tank mounts, fuel filler-neck offset, & spare tire well plate. Steering shaft connection (we can supply pieces to connect to a column).
Installation is simple.
Our proprietary bolt-in design integrates original mounting points
The stock gas tank is moved from an offset placement, to a centered placement—a filler-neck extension is included
The spare-tire well is removed—replacement piece is included
“Body-dropping” can be done, but requires more significant fabrication
Unit being sold as an unassembled rolling chassis. Unit will come with all hardware required for assembly.
