Where to buy jackknife frame only

Hi, new here, not sure which forum to post this question in. I'm looking for a jackknife sofa, frame only (no upholstery)

Ideal size would be 68" long. Can anyone point me in the right direction to buy just the frame?

I'm in California.

Thanks.

I've looked on may rv websites and have never seen a frame only. I am going to be shortening ours sometime in the future but, ours has a wooden frame. You might try an rv salvage

Thank you for your reply. I did find a company, Shrock Mfg in Indiana that does jackknife frames only, but was hoping I could find one on the west coast.

Not a very informative site, no prices or dimensions

You're right, I talked to their sales person on the phone. Really nice guy so I hope I can work with him and get what I need. Seems a little strange that they have a website with no specs, catalogue or prices..

What's your plan? Reupholster?
Honestly, with shipping, foam, materials, fabric and labor, you'll have a lot more into it than buying new. If you can find a used one from salvage, locally and do it yourself, it's very cost effective. You can also use the old cover as a pattern and see how it's supposed to be constructed. Especially the wood arms that may not be included with a frame only. The same would be true if you have someone else do it.
I just reupholstered mine in microfiber, for about $200 in materials. It's constructed more like an auto bench seats, so about the only specialty item was hog rings and pliars.
I just looked at Shrock, theirs is constructed a lot like mine. It would be a lot of work to create from just the frame.

In progress, you can see the old material still on the arm.



Finished
