Better Ride, Better Handling, Better Everything with a Heidts Complete Chassis Kit
The chassis under your old truck, Tri-Five Chevy, or ’32 Ford was adequate for its day. But that day isn’t today. The youngest chassis is almost 50 years old, and the oldest is just shy of 90; they weren’t designed to handle the horsepower modern engines make, let alone meet the ride and handling demands we expect from our hot rods.
You can crutch that old frame with upgrades, but a better idea is to retire the whole thing and slide a new Heidts Complete Chassis Kit under your vehicle. The kits feature a strong, TIG-welded 10-gauge steel frame with body mounts; complete front suspension with disc brakes; a four-link rear suspension with a 9 inch Ford rear axle; and rack and pinion steering. Compared to the money, time, and effort needed to bring your old junk up to snuff, a Heidts chassis can be money well-spent.
