SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

Pulled a swb 4x4 bare frame out of the parts yard yesterday, is this a saleable item or should we scrap it?

Tough to sell anything big up here.

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

Heh, I may be interested... I have enough parts to build one.

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

if i had 6 of those i could sell em all within a month down here. but for how much i dont know

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

They are sought after.and worth decent change.I bet you could find someone close enough to buy it.

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

If it were a LWB 3/4 ton frame I'd buy it, them shorty 1/2 ton 4x4's do nuthin for me. ;)

Grendel can have it. :mm: As long as he makes a GMC out iof it :gmc2:

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

Heh, I think I have enough parts left over to do either one.

I have this Vortec 454 and 4WD 700R4 kicking around...

Cabs and beds as well.

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

Not a 67-72 lwb frame but there is a later model frame sitting here as well.

So what's a 4x4 swb frame worth?

I could add pics and roll this over to a for sale thread...:hmm:

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

No clue. I'll take a look at it on Saturday :)

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

I've been looking for one for a couple of years. How come they're always so far away?:whine:

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

I would take another in a heartbeat, mine I kinda scaly in the rear. Too bad you are so far away, that would be perfect for us. Trevor

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

Good to know but what's one worth?

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

I've been looking for one too but dang. Where is Vermont? :) And what kind of condition is it?

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

:haha:...right here.

Frame is very solid but missing one rear spring hanger.

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

8 cents a pound in my town...

:lol:

I know that sdailey bought one off of Uncle in GA.

$300-$400 if decent

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

ill give this a shot.
id say $500-$750 with all pearches (body & spring perches)
in solid no rot condition
and with all cross members

and if it was a rolling chassi maybe add a few hundred more.

anybody think im off?
am i in the ball park?

comon guys i ve seen the 4wd section of this sight. i know kurt has helped alot of people here.
what do you guys think its worth.



BTW kurt at 4:30 pm i had a local guy (freind of mine) call me to keep an eye out for one of these for him.

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

without a correct title? that one is hard to figure, what would you put into body and possible return, if you had to sell it. Wow! CPNE still around....

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

Thanks jc for your input.

PASSMORE, title typically goes with the cab...yes?

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

Here you wouldn't need the title but only a bill of sale or reciept. I would say with cross members, hangers and in decent shape around 3-400 bucks.

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

I got mine for $400 from a "retired" truck builder (not Uncle) here in GA. The frame was almost perfect except for a couple of stress cracks coming off the rear spring hanger rivets and that was an easy fix.

I agree with the $300-$400 figure.

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

I bought one about 18 months ago. I paid $700.00 but it was all cleaned up and freshly painted. It also came with a vin plate. i though the price was fair.

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

I just saw a LWB 4 X 4 GMC in the salvage yard, so maybe some interest in it?
Sorry but did not mean to hijack... bigdon-70blazer

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

8 lug wheels....I remember that

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

my bad... I thought Uncle supplied all parts in the Atlanta area:lol:

Re: SWB 4x4 Frame - Checking Interest
 

On 4x4 frames, the VIN number is usually stamped in the frame (front left rail) that corresponds with the data plate (cab) and glove box sticker. I seen a nice reconditioned “72” SWB 4x4 go for “cheap’” because it had a 2wd title (C model instead of a K model VIN number). That’s in Florida, not sure about salvage titles, there not to common down here, as everything from the 80’s and before is a pile of rust. But, if you are going to make a driver out of it, about $500.00 for a rolling frame with rebuild able axles.
