71-73 complete front frame rails.

Does anyone manufacture complete frame rails for the 71-73's?

Somebody does since the NPD catalog has the entire frame rail, shock tower, fender aprons assembly for $799 (old catalog).

If not, there are used ones out there, but they may need a little work. I have a 72 coupe I'm parting out that has decent original shock towers and the frame rails don't look bad (needs more examination). They might need some small patches here or there, but the front of them are not rotted out.

Thank you for your reply. I have an NPD catalog and I do not recall seeing this. I will look again. Else I may be interested in used. I would prefer an entire unit if possible.

My catalog was from 2015. I don't think they would have been discontinued, but the past 2 years may have made them hard to get or stock.

All I can find are partial front frame rails, it seems that they have them in 2 pieces per side. An inner partial frame rail, and an outer partial frame rail per side. Only thing I could find with a complete frame rail was with shock towers and aprons:

Found them in the new NPD catalog. Along with what appears to be complete rear frame rails.

Next question. Are the inner rockers and the crossmember between the seat rails galvanized?

I have a complete front assy, also have some nice rear rails with t-boxes
