These frames & rolling chassis are designed to fit 1955 (2nd Ser.), 1956, 1957, 1958 & 1959 Chevrolet, ½ ton, trucks. Progressive Automotive takes pride in manufacturing our products at ourshop in Baltimore, Ohio, U.S.A. emphasizing our commitment to quality, craftsmanship and customer service.
Our hot rod frames feature our new boxed frame rails, constructed from 10-gauge (.135” thick) steel. Our rails take the same shape, contours and widths of the original frame, unlike mandrel bent box tube. The rails are fully welded, and the corner welds smoothed.
Unlike the original Chevrolet frame, our street rod frames & chassis incorporate our designed tubular crossmember. Not only does this create a stronger frame, but it allows room for modern transmissions.
Many other chassis options are available, such as Custom-built ride heights, Air ride, Wilwood brake upgrades, new 3rd members, etc. Call or email for information and pricing for your specific needs.
