I am wanting to buy a '32 Ford frame for my '32 truck cab and bed. I am from Oklahoma so there is no place around my area that makes a frame that I could just drive an hour or two to go pick up. How do companies ship pre-made frames? Also, is it overly costly to ship something like a car frame? Does the frame come directly to the customer's house or do they go to a shipping plant somewhere and you go pick it up from a shipping plant? Thanks
I have ordered several frames & frame rails, they usually come motor freight and if they can get to your home they can bring it to you, If I were you I would tell the salesperson do not ship it through Estes, I had the frame horns bent badly on two sets of frame rails, once when I watch the driver push the rails out of the trailer and crash down on the pavement. I refused them and went through a SH!T storm with their claims department. Cornhuskers Rod & Custom is at 122 Southern Hills Rd, Hebron, NE 68370. Call Gary, he is a Hamber and a good guy to deal with. HRP
Pete & Jake's is in Missouri. City is Peculiar, near Kansas City. Frame would be strapped to a pallet, shipped by truck. Truck may not make a residential delivery, but would hold at terminal for pickup. On cost, at least $100, likely more.
I would think freight will a lot more than 100$ bucks, all carriers charge more for long length and residential delivery. Pick it up at a truck terminal or make a run up to Hebron neb(hrp) .
How far are you from Sand Springs? The guys at Hot Rod Garage may be able to help. Website issues, try this: https://m.facebook.com/hotrodgarageinc/
I had a glass body on a frame shipped but I had them saw off the rear frame horns to get the crate under max length. I’m not going to use them anyway but I had them throw them in the box. Saved a bunch. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
I would also recommend Cornhusker and Pete & Jake's if you want to arrange to pickup your new frame. Phil
Another vote for Pete and Jakes. Great to deal with, nice product with a lot of options to choose from. Order it and when it's done just drive up and get one. Call and talk to Jason. SPark
Tom Bay in Arkansas City, Ks. used to handle them a few years back. Don't know if he still does, but he does handle and make a lot of 32 parts still.
