DSE Bare Front Frame - Double Adjustable Shocks - Powder Coated Control Arms (032039-DDS) - 1962-1965 Chevrolet Chevy II
Transform the front suspension of your 1962-1965 Chevrolet Chevy II with the Detroit Speed Bare Front Frame 032039-DDS. Engineered as a bolt-in replacement for the original stock frame, this complete performance system combines Detroit Speed optimized suspension and steering geometry with OEM-quality stamped crossmembers and mandrel-bent frame rails to improve handling, steering response, ride quality, and structural rigidity. This configuration pairs the bare frame with black powdercoated control arms and double-adjustable coilover shocks, making it an excellent foundation for a serious street, pro-touring, or track-focused Chevy II.
The 032039-DDS package uses aluminum-body coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving and two independent adjustments, giving drivers a broad range of suspension tuning while maintaining street-friendly ride quality. The system uses 400 lbs/in coilover springs with a 10-inch free length and incorporates power rack-and-pinion steering, an integrated splined sway bar, caster tuner bushings, and forged aluminum Detroit Speed spindles. The frame accommodates Small Block Chevrolet and LS-series engines, while the integral bay bars provide rigid hood-hinge mounting and can be concealed with the optional Detroit Speed Chevy II Inner Fender Kit.
