TCI vs Scott's Chassis

[1954Rat]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this forum so thanks in advance for any information and your opinions and experiences.

I'm looking at buying a complete rolling chassis for my 1954 Chevy Pickup. I'm looking at the air bag chassis as I want to lay the truck on the ground. Using a big block 454 that runs about 510hp with a 700R4 transmission. Diff gears will be 3:55 to 3:70.

I got a price from both TCI and Scott's and their prices are comparable. I'm leaning towards the Scott's as they seem to offer a few more options, set up and ready to go.

I have been looking online and see that there are a few bad reviews about Scott's but I see nothing negative about their complete chassis.

Have any of you used either one of these chassis and have you any issues or opinion on which to use?

Thanks

A buddy of mine bought a Nova front clip from Scotts and it did not fit......at all. Sent it back. He was not happy with the service from them.
TCI stands behind their products.

This is where I'd be looking to buy a truck chassis:

I have TCI under my Nova and am very happy with it. Well thought out, seems to be high quality.

I have Scott's IFS front clip and triangulated rear setup in another project I am building. Not on the road yet but also seems to be well thought out and high quality. I spoke to Justin directly when I ordered, he was a huge help on building a one-off for my project.

Without a doubt, TCI for that application.

8" fully boxed framerails are enough to make it worth it. Plenty strong, tons of room for big exhaust. Add in RideTech shocks and 6 year, 60,000 mile warranty and it gets much easier to make the decision.

Thanks guys for helping me out. I have been checking into the No Limit Chassis, as dhutton mentioned. They sure seem to build a good product. Great to deal with so far as I have like a ton of questions.

Anyone have any issues/opinions on No Limit?

Thanks again in advance

I'd be looking into Art Morrison Ent. as well. Great group of guys and gals and a great product.

Thanks again for your advice. I think I decided to go with a No Limit Chassis. Looks like a great product.

Rob (the owner/engineer) at No Limit is a cool dude. He's posted extensively on pro-touring.com, and a lot of us have hung out with him and pelted him with many questions at autocrosses. He's always got good answers, and he knows how to make a truck fun to drive!

I Would Go W/ Art Or Alston, I Was Very Unhappy W/ Tci...
