The custom Deuce Steel frame is different from any you've
seen before, and looks it. It is specifically designed to alter the stance
by lowering the nose with "arched" front frame-rails that also
accentuate the body lines - giving you a traditional highboy look with a
lowboy stance. That's what we mean when we say its "Longer, Lower &
Cooler." You get the best of both worlds. It is designed for your Model
A body, specifically.
The frame is "inset" boxed for better welds, and incorporates
a six-point, steel-tube, double K-member. The rear end is contoured to allow
greater rear-end travel, and the wheelbase has been lengthened three inches
to allow more engine room within the new frame length. All body mounts are
incorporated in our new chassis and you will have to drill them to match
your body.
And finally, the engine and transmission mounts are raised up into the frame for better ground clearance.

Note: The major differences in the Deuce Steel frame occur forward of the firewall. All stock and aftermarket bodies and body parts designed to fit a standard "A" frame will fit this frame from the firewall back. Forward of the firewall, the stock grill shell and hood panels will need to be modified. Deuce Steel is now providing modified 32' grill shells and hood panels.
