Pricing a rolling chassis - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm getting closer to the swap date on my project 'Recycle' so I'll be swapping the patina sheetmetal over to a freshly modified chassis. Once this is done, I'll have the OE 64 swb chassis left-over. I'm trying to determine a course of action on this as I can't afford to just have it sit around in a storage building. I have some modified lowering stuff from assorted project stages so I was thinking I could swap some of it over to the old chassis for some additional $$.

What I'm trying to determine is @ what point will there be a diminished return vs. the actual cost of the additional parts? If a rolling swb chassis goes for $200, what could I get for one that has dropped spindles + lowering blocks? Or, w/the spindles & blocks, I also have....

Pair of .750" narrowed 6x-72 lower a-arms & rebuilt uppers
F/R shock relocators
an adjustable 'super' Panhard bar
a T/A x-member cut for exhaust
a square tube trans x-member
a notched/pancaked OE front x-member + steering linkage

Would you guys set-it up as one pkg or just try & sell it as separate items on Craigslist or the board classifieds?

It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar..... *Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.*
