I'm wondering what you guys think a lowered 73 to 87 frame and with a posi is worth?(not sure of year yet) Its got a flip in the rear and its got coils in the front( not sure what drop though). As of now its rolling but the guy would like to keep the rally's/tires. Hes asking $350 canadian. he also has a chopped cab forsale. Let me know what you think its worth. Too much??

I don't know what canadian $$$ is worth compared to US but that sounds like a pretty decent deal to me depending on what shape the frame is worth. It'd cost you almost that much just to lower it. Is the frame painted?

My friend bought a completely stock 77' 2wd frame for $150, all that was done was to it was it was painted with absolutely no a-arms or nothing on it...so I'd think the frame your looking at is worth it. I've been considering buying my friends 71' SWB 2wd frame he has but he has never given me a price on it. Buy the frame, but I'm not too sure about the cab unless its the original cab. I'd check the numbers on the cab and the frame to see if they match, save you a little work when you get a title for the truck if you build it.

i've got a 86 swd frame/truck but i want to lower it and i think it will be cheaper just to buy the lowered frame, instead of buying a lowering kit. Plus its got a posi. The frame was sandblasted and painted awhile back, could be touched up.

A posi rear in good condtion could bring in $200 easy up here. I would say it's worth it.
If the rally's are worth money to him offer 250 or 275. Remember not many people are loking for a bare frame.
