Best Deuce Frame Rails built Today
55% Stronger
Mike Newville and Werner Kraenzler, of Dearborn Manufacturing,
applied the same technology used to build modern light truck chassis
to produce their super-strong AccuRail Deuce frame rails and chassis.
 
Mike shows Woodsy how they box and weld the inner and outer rails
to build for the strongest Deuce frame rails on the market today.
Other companies weld four flat pieces together to make boxed frame rails.
Mike and Werner stamp full length inner and outer rails, and then box and weld
these double "C" rails together for a Deuce chassis that has the strength of a
modern light truck chassis.
 
That means you get a smoother more comfortable ride. It also means
you'll have fewer maintenance hassles because parts won't shake loose.
More torsional strength also means fewer flex cracks in your paint so
your paint looks good for years longer.
 
100% Original Deuce Design
- Exact copies of original Deuce frame rails, thanks to digital scans
- Robotically welded for less distortion
- Welded on gigs for excellent quality in every chassis
They started by searching for straight, crisp original 1932 Ford frame rails,
and took a digital scan. Next, they cut their steel dies that stamp out the
inner and outer frame rails.
The design lines are accurate, right down to the location of every mounting hole.
Perfect for restorations and hot rods, they bolt to original Deuces as easily as
to new steel and glass bodies.
Better than the Originals
Mike and Werner fully clamp the frame rails and chassis parts to jigs. They
apply 40,000 pounds of hydraulic pressure to eliminate any weld gaps.
Four robots complete the welds, using more than 6,000 inches of .045 weld wire
in every AccuRail. In a single pass, the robots weld:
- Top and the bottom seams of the boxed "C" rails
- Add material for radius dressing the edges
Henry Ford used lighter weight .118" 11-gauge steel.
AccuRails are stamped
from heavier steel:
| Outer "C" frame rail |
.134" 10-gauge steel |
| Inner "C" frame rail |
.180" 7-gauge steel |
To give you an idea of how solid these are, each one of the "C" channels
weighs 44 lbs. When boxed and welded together, they weigh 90 lbs!
 
Arched crossmember option gives plenty of room for plumbing
under the chassis. Even room for your gas tank!
