Truck chassis experts

EO Truck and Trailer is one of the most experienced and professional frame shops on the West Coast. Our expert welders and mechanics take extra steps and cover every detail to ensure a factory-quality finished product. The frame modifications we complete are imperceptible without very close inspection, yet result in a chassis that is stronger than original and better suited for the new application. Whether shortening a frame by one foot or lengthening it by 15 feet and changing the suspension, our shop has done it and can do it. This is why dealerships, repair shops, trucking companies, and owner-operators come to us from all over California, Nevada, and beyond.
