Chassis For Ford Model Vehicles

Introduction
A chassis consists of an internal framework that supports a manmade object in its construction and use. It is analogous to an animal's skeleton. An example of a chassis is the underpart of a motor vehicle, consisting of the frame (on which the body is mounted). If the running gear such as wheels and transmission, and sometimes even the driver's seat, are included, then the assembly is described as a rolling chassis.

Technologies Used
F-59 WALK-IN VAN  CHASSIS
Specs
-The single-channel ladder-type frame of the F-59 Commercial Stripped Chassis is constructed of 36,000 psi steel.
Benefits
-Power and Handling
This is the equipment section you are undoubtedly most familiar with because it contains the critical choices you'll need to make in order to "spec out" the vehicle that will serve you best: engines, wheelbases, transmissions, wheels, tires and more.
Safety
In addition to a host of standard safety features, the F-53 Class A Motorhome Chassis and F-59 Commercial Stripped Chassis models offer optional Hydro Max optional power 4-sensor ABS brake assist to maximize stopping efficiency.

Chassis Operation
A chassis is defined as the most basic framework for a manmade structure. Electrical engineers use a chassis to support circuit breaker boards. Another common type of chassis the understructure of a car, truck, or sport utility vehicle. At the most basic level, the chassis of an automobile consists of only the frame. Sometimes the chassis will include not only the frame, but also the wheels, transmission, and even the driver's side seat!
Needless to say, the chassis is an incredibly important portion of the car. As important as the chassis is, many drivers don't know much about it. A car chassis is the most integral component in the final construction of any motorized automobile apart from the engine itself. As well as act as the canvas onto which all of the vehicle's parts are attached, it also provides invaluable structural integrity which prevents the car from collapsing into itself under large amounts of strain.


Central Components
The most important feature of an automobile chassis is the way in which it anchors all of a car's key components, including the suspension system, wheels, and car body. Contrary to popular belief, the painted body that surrounds the exterior of the car is not actually a part of the chassis but another part that depends on the chassis to stay functional. If the chassis were weakened, it may play a huge safety risk for both the car and its driver. This is why it is important to ensure that your car is structurally sound every 6 months.

Benefits
When involved in a wreck, the chassis is what helps protect the driver from their crumpling vehicle. Aside from the air bag and any other safety features, the structural strength of an automobile chassis is the largest deterrent of more serious automobile-related injuries.
Most ford model chassis such as the F-53 and F-59 model chassis use a ladder based designed chassis due to the simplicity of design and low cost construction.
