A G-Machine
1. New Foundations
Schwartz Performance is proud to expand their G-Machine Chassis offerings for classic trucks with the addition of a bolt-in chassis for ’47-54 GM trucks. The G-Machine Chassis is designed to bolt to most of the factory cab/body mounting locations and requires no floor cutting (except to accommodate different transmissions). The 6-inch framerails produce a rigid foundation that delivers a smooth ride with amazing handling to transform any vintage GM truck to a comfortable, stable ride.

The updated front suspension includes needle bearing supported A-arms for smooth bind-free movement along with separate caster and camber adjustments. Extra-long adjustable Ridetech coilovers have been positioned at each corner to produce superior ride quality and comfort. The rear suspension is a triangulated four-bar system with bind-free, Teflon-lined spherical rod ends coupled to a full-floating Moser 9-inch rearend. Other standard equipment supplied with Schwartz G-Machine Chassis include a power rack, Baer six-piston calipers and 13-inch rotors up front with four-piston rear, a full-floating rear axle filled with a Truetrac and gears, splined front and rear sway bars with billet arms, and single-adjustable Ridetech coilovers.

To help get your project and new G-Machine Chassis rolling, Schwartz Performance offers a variety of different wheel and tire packages as well as many GM, Ford, or Mopar crate engines/drivetrains. G-Machine Chassis are available for GM trucks from 1947-72, Ford trucks including ’48-52 F-1s and ’67-72 F-100s, and most classic and muscle car applications for GM, Ford, and Chrysler.
