Re: shortened frame decrease truck value

In my opinion if it already has been modified then it's not original so a shortened frame would not devalue the truck as is being sold. Now on the other hand if the truck was an original undisturbed with all the numbers matching then it difinitely would devalue it by shortening the frame. Hopefully, he didn't also cut the bed...

In you case, since it's being used for parts only it's really you choice. If you sell the frame at a later date the buyer will now it by the welded area and of course you letting him know.

The true value always depends on how bad the buyer wants it.
