FORD 42-52 PRO TOURING ROLLING CHASSIS

COLLINO C-TRUCK PRO TOURING CHASSIS

The Collino C-Truck Pro Touring Chassis was developed as a high-performance structural platform, designed to transform classic pickups into vehicles with dynamic behavior, rigidity, and safety levels comparable to a modern sports car.

This is a completely new chassis, designed and manufactured by Collino’s in-house R&D team, with a strong focus on high torsional rigidity, proper load distribution, and modern suspension geometry, while maintaining full compatibility with original pickup cabs and beds.

The concept is clear: preserve the visual identity of a classic truck, while providing a contemporary structural foundation that allows it to corner, brake, and accelerate with precision, stability, and confidence.

A MODERN STRUCTURAL FOUNDATION

The C-Truck chassis architecture was conceived to work as a fully integrated system.
Frame rails, crossmembers, and strategically placed reinforcements significantly reduce unwanted torsional flex, improving vehicle response and allowing the suspension systems to work correctly.

This results in:

• Increased steering precision

• Predictable on-road behavior

• Improved active safety at high speeds

• A solid foundation for high-power, high-torque applications

COLLINO C-TRUCK FRONT SUSPENSION

The chassis is equipped with the Collino C-Truck front suspension, a technological evolution developed specifically for classic full-size pickups.

This system was designed to radically improve driving dynamics without altering the vehicle’s visual identity, delivering a modern, sporty, and comfortable driving experience, both on the street and in spirited use.

Dynamic benefits

• Maneuverability: increased cornering precision and excellent turning radius.

• Stability: firm, predictable behavior in all driving conditions.

• Braking: proper load distribution and compatibility with high-performance ventilated brake systems.

Design, packaging, and compatibility

• Ample engine bay space: compatible with a wide range of 6- and 8-cylinder engines, including high-power configurations. The design prioritizes accessibility and clean mechanical installation.

• Cab and bed mounting points: integrated, properly located mounting points for original cabs and beds, ensuring correct alignment, structural rigidity, and long-term durability.

• Space for exhaust, differential, driveshaft, and fuel tanks: excellent clearance for large-diameter exhaust systems and complex layouts, with no interference with suspension, steering, or chassis structure.

• Modularity and options: a wide range of optional components and accessories allows the system to be tailored to different ride heights, brake packages, steering setups, and intended use.

Main front suspension components

• Reinforced control arms

• CNC-machined control arm mounts

• Steering knuckles with wheel hubs and bearings

• Hydraulic power steering rack

• Sway bar

• Central cross brace linking the frame rails

• Coilover shocks and springs with adjustable mounts

• Integrated mounts for high-performance brake calipers

REAR FOUR-LINK SUSPENSION

The chassis incorporates a rear Four-Link suspension system, designed to optimize traction, rear axle control, and overall ride quality.

This system provides:

• Improved longitudinal and lateral axle control

• Increased stability under acceleration and traction

• More predictable behavior in corners

• Adaptability to different ride heights and usage configurations

BUILT FOR SERIOUS PROJECTS

The Collino C-Truck Pro Touring Chassis is ideal for:

• High-end restorations

• Pro Touring street and recreational builds

• Vehicles equipped with high-output engines

• Professional shops seeking real, engineered solutions

With this platform, a classic pickup doesn’t just come back to life—it becomes a structurally modern vehicle, capable of delivering active safety, precise handling, and true driving enjoyment.

This same structural concept is used by Collino in its complete Pro Touring chassis, developed for high-performance builds.
