Goodmark® GMK4174571731L - Rear Driver Side Cab Floor Support

Anyone in the restoration hobby is familiar with the phrase "frame up restoration". It's used to describe a restoration where the vehicle is completely disassembled down to the bare frame, before being reassembled with new or reconditioned parts. The implication is that the frame is a vehicle's most basic element, the foundation upon which the rest of the car is built. Therefore it makes sense to ensure the frame is solid and dimensionally correct before proceeding any further with a restoration.

A rusty or bent frame won't support the body properly, potentially throwing off the alignment of the body panels. The drivetrain may not align correctly on such a frame, possibly causing vibration , shifting difficulties, and component misalignment. And most importantly for vehicle operation, a rusty or bent frame may not allow the wheels to be properly aligned, and the car may end up handling dangerously and prematurely wearing tires.

Trying to straighten an accident damaged or rusted frame is only asking for problems. Even if the dimensions are only a little bit off parts won't fit right and correct wheel alignment will be impossible. You can end up with the same type problems with a used frame or a cheap replacement. You don't know the history of a used frame and the vehicle it came from could have also been in an accident. And a cheap replacement frame could be poorly made. To make sure your restoration has a sound foundation, you need a quality reproduction frame from the restoration experts at Goodmark.
