Same price...still have it. I have had 3 people back out on buying it with the same old excuse "man, thats a nice frame...let me see if I can get the rest of the money on payday"...and they never show back up or call...

Wrecked truck as long as the frame isnt bent is best way to go.. Finding the right one is another story. Never can find one that is getting parted out near me for a decent price. People still think that a wrecked 12v truck is worth $5000+. Need a single cab frame, but short or long...that depends on what you plan on doing for a bed. Wheel base is the key... From my measurements, width is good...length with a fleet side bed is the problem. I believe you might have to shorten the frame a bit. Single cab to single cab might be ok, but if you have a club cab dodge, you will have to shorten the frame and all the brake and fuel lines along with the driveshaft. Doing a flat bed makes my life simple.
