WIW 69 lwb leaf spring truck
I am in the process of getting a 69 long wheelbase 2wd parts truck. It has original leaf springs in the back and I haven’t seen all that many of these trucks around. I didn’t know if the frame or rolling chassis is worth anything more than a regular coil spring truck or if it is just worth its weight in scrap. In addition, it has a decent set of original wheels/hubcaps (in the cab) and a th400 with non-tilt column that I might also sell. Any idea what I can get for this stuff around Texas? Thanks!

Re: WIW 69 lwb leaf spring truck
hmm, not sure, but I may be interested in the frame itself, minus all running gear.

Re: WIW 69 lwb leaf spring truck
you could make a great trailer out of the spring frame and bed. Some have said that the leaf spring rear ends can be loaded down with an amazing amount of weight, overloaded, and still perform very well.
The trailer route is what I think I.m going to do with the 67 GMC I have.

value wise, i think $150.00 isn't out of line to the right person. finding the right person might not be easy though. i agree, make a trailer out of it, i built mine from a 72 GMC longbed with 3/4 ton springs and a gutted HO52.

Remember the more of them you destroy the less there is later when needed
