that original Tri-Five frames are nearly 60 years old, so frames that are still in good shape aren't common, which makes an aftermarket frame more appealing. Our frames are designed to retain all the factory suspension pickup points, and we offer a full line of control arms, springs, shocks, brakes, rearends, steering boxes, and sway bars to go along with them. They're designed so that you won't have to hack up the car to install one. Just drop your body onto one of our frames using the stock mounts, and you're good to go. The improvement in stiffness will make a car feel like it has full 'cage in it.

CRAIG MORRISON: Art Morrison's GT Sport frames have several innovative features that can make a Tri-Five Chevy handle like an exotic sports car. We start with an all-new frame built from 2x4-inch rectangular steel tubing. Combined with crossbracing that's strategically placed throughout the chassis, the result is a frame that's significantly stiffer than stock. Revised suspension pickup points allow lowering the car 3 to 4 inches while retaining full suspension travel.
The body can be lowered even more with our optional drop spindles. The control arms, spindles, coilovers, and sway bars included with our Tri-Five chassis have been designed to take full advantage of the all-new frame design. The control arm angles have been optimized to create an ideal camber curve, while minimizing the side scrub movement of the tires. Furthermore, the control arm angle increases antidive characteristics for improved stability under braking and a smoother ride.
While factory Tri-Fives came with 2 degrees of positive caster, we set the angle at 5 degrees in our GT Sport chassis. This not only enhances straight-line stability, but it also increases the tire contact patch and optimizes weight distribution during
