Frame

[2515x3jj]

Hello. I would like to know if anyone can help with info on my 03 2500 5.7l auto 4door 6.5bed frame. Seeking a used one because the amount of work needed to restore this is not worth it to me. Question is : What years and models can be used. Any info would be greatly appreciated, and any info on prep , paint, and a rust preventer? Thank you

Before buying any frame parts make sure you get it placed on a frame jig and ensure it is true. Very expensive to fix one, but it can be done and done very well. If you want to clean it and paint it I suggest a water sandblaster with an additive that will prevent rust from immediately forming, but you have to coat frame quickly. For the frame, a good powder coating is what I recommend at a reputable shop. Good luck
