budbuilt is still working on a jig for building frames, it's been that way for a year or 2.

rocket 03-14-2006 08:37 PM

yeah but it appears he'll have production ready by this summer.

kyle_22r 03-15-2006 10:51 AM

i think that was referring to *last* summer on the site :pat:

shawn0890ss 03-16-2006 04:27 PM

any others because i have looked at their site and like kyle said i doesn't look like they are produceing them yet.

rocket 03-17-2006 02:09 AM

none others. your best bet would be to find the frame you need from a donor or a totaled Yota at a junk yard.
You could also give Bud a quick phone call and let us know what hes says...

Hey man i have that '87 im parting out, im not sure how the frame is but i'll check it out tonight and maybe we could work something out... Drop me a message if your interested. :great:

Shoot yours is and ex-cab & pirate is down right now... I can't remember off the top of my head if the frames are the same length and if they are do the body mounts match up. :think:

shawn0890ss 03-19-2006 05:04 PM

if you could find out if it would fit let me know if it s in good shape. but i dont know if their interchangeable.

I haven't called to confirm ('cause I don't need a frame) but I've heard that Bud can build frames now, he just hasn't updated the site. If he has them available, they will be good quality. All of his stuff is.

ok so they make them but do they have a jig ready now or is it custom work thats gonna take a while and cost a $2000+ bucks

regardless if they have a jig or not its gonna cost you $$$ to buy a frame. just think how much a custom bumper costs, now multiply.
