Art Morrison vs Roadster Shop

[Jacobb55]

Been pricing out full chassis build and narrowed it down to art Morrison and roadster shop. Anyone have opinion or pros vs cons on the 2 companies? They will be building a chassis for my 55 Chevy 3100 truck. The truck will be used as a show / a little autocross, nothing serious though. I've come to conclusion roadster shop is a little more money but they do install bumper, body, and motor mounts which is a huge plus for me. Let me know what you guys think

Thanks
Jacob

I have a Art Morrison under my Camaro. Kevin Kosir is the salesman I dealt with. Pretty good guy. I honestly think they are both probably top quality. I would look at how the fuel, brake lines will run. Just little things a guy doesn't think about until your doing it. Good luck

Kevin is my rep over at AM too. Great guy. Jacob, you’re welcome to come down to Starlite Garage in Torrance and check out my 69 Camaro to see the AM frames.

1st series truck? No Limit or TCI, even for a second series. Those frame rails are too narrow for a triangulated 4 link to work properly.

The 10" tall rail is a huge plus when it comes to routing exhaust and general packaging.



If you want an IRS, that's a different story.

Agreed on TCI and No Limit...those guys have done HUNDREDS of 55-59 Chevy trucks. Rob McGregor at No Limit is especially knowledgeable about these vehicles and could be a huge resource to solve build problems in all areas of your project. He definitely knows years of things NOT to do! And TCI has done so many of these trucks they've likely lost count.
In reality, you can't go wrong with any of these companies...they all build great products. The differences will be in the details...the details that matter to YOU.
