PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a body frame member having improved productivity without reducing performance of a vehicle and a method for manufacturing the same. SOLUTION: Front pillar inner panel lowers 20A, 20B are cut from a steel material 32 in an arrangement where a linear part 24B of an end part in an X-direction of a locker part 24 of one front pillar inner panel lower 20A (20B) and a linear part 26A of a front pillar part 26 of the other front pillar inner panel lower 20B (20A) are facing to each other with sides thereof contacted with each other. The Y-direction width W of the locker part 24 and the Y-direction length L of the front pillar part 26 of the front pillar inner panel lowers 20A, 20B are made equal, which limits waste parts minimum to scrap parts A, B and improves the productivity. As the front pillar inner panel lower 20 is a member having a relatively thin plate thickness compared with other body frame members, influence of such a shape change on the performance of the vehicle is suppressed.
