Building An Excursion Out Of A Chassis?

Custom Autos by Tim, a tuning shop in Oklahoma, has been creating new Ford Excursions from old ones using F-Series Super Duty chassis. The company has been making these vehicles for the past few years by combining the front and rear sections of the vehicle with the chassis of a 2016 Ford Super Duty. The space-frame chassis lies between the ladder chassis and the monocoque, constructed from an arrangement of small, simple members that make up a larger structure.

Custom Autos by Tim can build a “new” Excursion for at least $40,000, not including the donor chassis. People spend as much as $100,000 to re-create the vehicle. They optimize the tubing shape for the job, optimizing square tubing for the job and round tubing for certain circumstances.

A rear door frame back swap is an extensive process that involves stripping the entire cab and modifying the fire wall for hydroboost. The process includes cutting the rear drive shaft, cutting the frame, rolling the body, frame, motor, and tranny of the frame rack. Customers who bring their own chassis can expect to pay at least $40,000 for the process.

Custom Autos by Tim can convert Ford Super Duty pickups into modern Ford Excursions, with the work looking very impressive. They can build around 40 units per year, each one requiring two months of work. Customers who bring their own chassis can expect to pay at least $40,000 for the process.
