Why Choose Scott’s Hotrods’ 1973-1979 Ford
F100 Dentside Chassis?
Your 1973-1979 Ford F100 Dentside deserves more than a refurbished factory frame or a generic aftermarket chassis. Every Scott’s Hotrods chassis is engineered from the ground up specifically for your truck, delivering modern performance, exceptional strength, and the flexibility to build everything from a reliable weekend cruiser to an award-winning Pro Touring show truck.
Unlike mass-produced chassis, every Scott’s chassis is Built-to-Order around your exact vehicle, engine, transmission, suspension, and ride height preferences. Whether you’re planning a Coyote, Godzilla, Windsor, LS, LT, Hemi, or another drivetrain combination, your chassis is built specifically for your project—not forced to fit a one-size-fits-all design.
Our proprietary Independent Front Suspension, proven 4-Bar rear suspension, and choice of premium coilovers or SuperSlam air ride provide the ride quality, handling, and stance today’s builders expect. Combined with 100% TIG-welded construction, mandrel-bent frame rails, heavy-duty DOM tubing, Moser Ford 9-inch rear housing, and premium Grade 8 hardware, every chassis is built to handle today’s horsepower while maintaining the craftsmanship Scott’s Hotrods is known for.
Proudly designed and manufactured in Knoxville, Tennessee using American-sourced materials whenever possible, every Scott’s Hotrods chassis is backed by decades of engineering experience and a commitment to building one of the most complete, highest-quality custom truck chassis available.
