KY 1968 Cab, LWB Frame, 307 Olds Motor - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bigjoe77 · 12-16-2012, 01:12 AM

I started to refinish the frame, but decided to sell my project instead. The passenger side of the frame is partially refinished. All that remains of the front end is the cross-member, but I do have the original spindles, drums, etc. The cab isn't in that great of shape, but I have a '71 cab I am selling separate as well. I do have wheels and tires for the front too. The wheels are the old directional style. The tires are in pretty good shape. I would like to get $300 for the cab, frame, and motor as is, but that is negotiable b/c I would like to get it out of my garage.

Could you also post more pictures of this cab? What isn't that great about it?

bigjoe77 · 12-16-2012, 11:00 AM

Yeah, I'll post some pics of the other cab this evening.

The worst thing about the cab on it now are the floor boards. They definitely need to be replaced. New cab corners and rockers wouldn't hurt either. I'll post more pics of it this evening as well.

Thanks

**Todd68Chevy** · 12-16-2012, 05:58 PM

Interested. Is everything pictured (attached to the frame of course) included for that price? Do you have a title for the cab? Any issues with the frame that you know of? Is the frame area where it is double plated above the rear coil springs is good/ solid condition? Has the frame been modified up front to get the Olds engine to fit? What condition are the trailing arms in? Are they rusted in between speading them open any? Do you have a way of lifting the front end to load it? Thanks for your time.

Here are some pics Nate. The floor is good. I'm sure you would want to replace the cab corners and rockers. The firewall has been filled and looks good. The bad thing is that I don't have the title. I actually had it, but received some bad advice. Stupid. Let me know if you want to see more pics. Thanks.

I'd say the WORST part of the cab is underneath. It will need cab supports. I have two rear cab supports I will throw in. Let me know if you would like for me to take pics of anything else.

Yes, everything attached is included for $300. Yes, I do have a title. There are no issues with the frame (that I know of). The frame area above the coil springs looks good. I cleaned up the passenger side area pretty good. The driver's side has surface rust, but nothing horrible. As far as I can tell the frame wasn't modified in order to get the Olds motor to fit. The trailing arms aren't very good. I actually have another set for sale on another thread. They are off of a 71 or 72 and are in really good shape. I really don't have a plan made up for loading it, but I'm sure I could think of something. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks

Did this cab come from a long or short bed truck? Also, does it have the SPID? Thanks in advance.

bigjoe77 · 12-21-2012, 10:43 AM

The cab came from a longbed. I'm sorry, but I don't know what an SPID is.

Interested in any trades (guns, etc.)?
If not, what's bottom dollar? I live in Russell Springs, KY and could come pick all of it up.
