DSE Bare Front Frame - Non-Adjustable Shocks - Powder Coated Control Arms (032039DS) - 1962-1965 Chevrolet Chevy II
Bring modern suspension geometry, steering response, and road manners to your 1962-1965 Chevrolet Chevy II with the Detroit Speed Bare Front Frame 032039DS. Engineered as a bolt-in replacement for the original stock frame, this complete performance system combines a bare frame with black powdercoated control arms, Detroit Tuned non-adjustable coilover shocks, and OEM-quality stamped crossmembers for increased structural rigidity. The result is a purpose-built foundation designed to dramatically update the way a classic Chevy II handles while retaining the versatility needed for a serious street, pro-touring, or track-oriented build.
The 032039DS package uses aluminum-body non-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, paired with 400 lbs/in springs and a 10-inch spring free length. Detroit Speed combines this suspension with TIG-welded tubular upper and lower control arms, power rack-and-pinion steering, an integrated splined sway bar with composite bushings, caster tuner bushings, and forged aluminum Detroit Speed spindles. The frame is engineered to accommodate 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.
