2 Man Fab builds custom frames for drivers across Celina, TX. Celina is changing faster than almost anywhere in North Texas, and you can see both versions of the town in its trucks. There are still working ranch rigs coming off the county roads around FM 455 -- older diesels, flatbeds, stock trailers -- parked a few blocks from brand-new lifted half-tons out of Light Farms and Mustang Lakes that have never had a trailer behind them. We get both, and they need genuinely different things: one needs to survive a load, the other needs to sit and drive right on a truck that's still under warranty.
Celina is about twenty-five minutes from the shop by way of FM 1385 or Preston down to US 380. It's the longest drive of our close-in cities, but Celina's own options for real fabrication -- not parts installation -- are thin, and that's exactly the gap we fill.
About Custom Frames
Some builds don't start with a factory frame at all -- a flatbed conversion that needs a frame extension, a trailer or rig that needs a purpose-built chassis, or a project where the original frame is too far gone to save. That's where custom frame fabrication comes in.
We build boxed frames, tube chassis sections, and full custom frame structures in-house, engineered around what the vehicle actually needs to carry and how it'll be used -- daily driver, work truck, or off-road rig. Every frame is built on our table, not bent from a generic template.
This is structural work, and we treat it that way: proper material selection, proper boxing and gusseting, and welds that are built to carry real load, not just look clean.
What's Included
- Boxed frame fabrication and reinforcement
- Tube chassis construction for flatbeds, trailers, and custom rigs
- Custom crossmembers and mounting point fabrication
- Frame stretching or shortening for flatbed and body conversions
- Material and gauge selection based on load requirements
- Fit and function testing before final install
How It Works
- 1
Consult & design
We figure out what the frame needs to carry, how it'll be used, and what design makes sense for your build.
- 2
Material & layout
We select the right steel and lay out the frame structure before any permanent cuts or welds.
- 3
Fabrication & welding
The frame is built and welded in-house, with load-bearing joints boxed and reinforced properly.
- 4
Fit & final check
The frame is test-fit with the body, driveline, or bed before it's considered done.

Custom Frames in Celina -- Common Questions
Can you stretch or shorten an existing frame?
Yes -- this is common on flatbed conversions and custom builds where the wheelbase needs to change.
What material do you use for custom frames?
Typically mild steel in a gauge sized to what the frame needs to carry -- we'll walk you through the choice for your specific build.
How long does a custom frame build take?
It depends on complexity and how it fits into a larger build -- we'll give you a real timeline once we understand the full scope.
Is a custom frame safe for daily driving?
Yes, when it's engineered and built right -- which is exactly why we treat frame work as structural fabrication, not a quick weld job.
How long is the drive from Celina to your shop?
About twenty-five minutes. FM 1385 south, or Preston Road down to US 380 and west to FM 423.
