Judging Interest: 2 frames, engine, trans - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have two 55 shortbeds that I'm blending into one. I'm considering going ahead and doing the frame swap to a '62 chassis as I mix and match parts to make one good truck. One frame has original everything - front and rear, engine and 3-speed tranny. The other is bare with correct front end but a 10 bolt rearend out of a 60's truck. Anyone interested in these two frames with the engine and tranny? If I could raise a couple of hundred bucks for everything, it would make the swap worth it and I could go ahead and get started. These wouldn't be ready for a couple of months, possibly as late as early summer. Thanks!

I'm in Lubbock, TX. Frame of the first one was junk - past bubba butchery. Other is fine, straight and no rust to speak of. I want to sell this one complete - frame, front and rear axles, original engine (ran when parked several years ago) and 3-speed stick. This would be perfect for someone with a past butchered frame/engine combo who wanted to restore one to it's former glory. I want $750 for all of it.
