1941-1948 Ford Car Chassis Overview

Scott’s Hotrods manufactures a complete 1941-1948 Ford Car Chassis for builders who want modern handling, braking, steering and ride quality underneath their classic Ford. Instead of rebuilding nearly 80-year-old suspension technology, a Scott’s chassis gives your project an entirely new foundation engineered specifically around your car. From a traditional 1941 Ford Coupe to a radically customized ’48 Ford, every chassis is built according to your drivetrain, suspension choice, wheel and tire package, ride height and performance goals.

At the front, Scott’s proprietary Independent Front Suspension features a heavy-duty one-piece 2″x4″x3/16″-wall crossmember, built-in anti-dive and massive 1-1/8″x.250-wall DOM Tubular Upper & Lower A-Arms. Out back, our equal-length Parallel 4-Bar rear suspension controls a Moser Ford 9-inch rear end using heavy-duty adjustable DOM link bars. Combine that with rack & pinion steering, available Wilwood disc brakes and your choice of Coilover or SuperSlam Airbag suspension, and you have a classic Ford chassis engineered for modern roads and modern horsepower.

Scott’s Coilover ’41-’48 Ford Chassis – From $14,750
Scott’s SuperSlam ’41-’48 Ford Chassis – From $15,650

Want Your 1941-1948 Ford to Lay Frame?

Scott’s Hotrods SuperSlam 1941-1948 Ford Chassis is engineered from the ground up specifically for air suspension, giving your classic Ford the ultra-low stance you want without treating airbags as an afterthought. The SuperSlam chassis is designed around the suspension travel, geometry and packaging necessary to put your Ford completely down on the frame while maintaining a proper driving height and suspension geometry when raised. Scott’s states the SuperSlam chassis is designed to lay frame from front to back.

Whether you’re building a chopped custom, traditional street rod, modern restomod or radical show car, the SuperSlam combines Scott’s proprietary IFS, rack & pinion steering, Parallel 4-Bar rear suspension and Moser Ford 9-inch with a properly engineered air suspension system. Lay it out at the show. Raise it to driving height. Hit the highway. Your ’41-’48 Ford gets the stance of a radical custom with a chassis engineered to actually be driven.

Built for Traditional Ford Power, Coyote Swaps & More

Your 1941-1948 Ford doesn’t have to be limited by the drivetrain it left the factory with. Scott’s Hotrods can engineer your chassis around everything from traditional Ford power to a modern 5.0L Coyote swap, Windsor, FE big-block, Y-Block, LS, LT, HEMI or other custom drivetrain combination. Engine placement, transmission fitment, steering clearance, exhaust routing, suspension geometry and ride height are considered during the chassis design process—not figured out after your chassis arrives.

Whether your goal is a period-inspired Ford street rod or a high-horsepower modern restomod, Scott’s built-to-order approach means the chassis is designed around your drivetrain and your project—not the other way around.
