2 Man Fab builds frame swaps 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 Frame Swaps
A rusted-out frame doesn't have to mean the end of a truck you've put years into. A frame swap moves the body, driveline, and everything else onto a solid replacement frame -- either a cleaner factory frame or an upgraded one that supports better suspension and parts availability.
This is one of the more involved jobs we take on: the body has to come off, every line and harness has to be transferred cleanly, and the new frame has to be prepped and set up correctly before anything goes back together. We treat it with the same care as building a frame from scratch.
Whether you're saving a truck from rust or upgrading to a frame that supports the build you actually want, this is a job worth doing at a shop that won't rush the details.

- 3
Transfer & mount

Frame Swaps in Celina -- Common Questions
How do I know if my truck needs a frame swap instead of a repair?
If the frame is rusted through in structural areas, a swap is usually safer and more cost-effective long term than patching. We'll give you an honest assessment.
How long does a frame swap take?
It's a significant job -- typically measured in weeks, not days. We'll give you a real timeline once we've seen the truck.
Can I supply my own replacement frame?
Yes, if you've already sourced one we can inspect it and work with it, or help you find the right one.
Will everything from the old frame transfer over?
Most components transfer, but some lines, mounts, and hardware are better replaced during a swap rather than reused -- we'll flag anything that needs it.
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.
