Does anyone want a longbed frame in Cal? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Free if someone wants the whole thing. It was a 1972 C20 camper special. Bare frame, not rolling, no suspension. No rust. It had rear leafsprings. I don't own a cutting torch so piecing it would be too difficult for me at this time.
I'm in Pittsburg, CA, 94565

These old frames are made of mild steel so a Sawzall works very well too.

Ok, I have a sawzall. I'll try that by this weekend. I managed to remove the leaf spring hangers and shock mounts with an angle grinder and hammer/pickle fork and have them for sale on another thread. If someone has any parts requests from this frame let me know, I am going to start hacking it soon. I need to get it out of my yard. The front crossmember, A-arms , and steering stuff are still on the frame. Front coils springs are available too.

What about the Rear bed cross member? The one where the rear wire harness fits in the circle(from the rear lights), and where the wire harness from the firewall attaches to that one from the rear lights? Its the one that people take out to install a sub. gas tank.

Tanker 350 here is a picture of the frame from the rear. Are you talking about the one on the very rear? I don't remember taking that off on my K10 when I installed the suburban tank. I'm sure I removed the narrow one in front of that. I think I still have the narrow piece laying around here somewhere. Let me know which one in the pic you need and I'll go out there in daylight and see if I could get it off.

I could be interested in the steering stuff, A-arms, swaybay if there is one, etc. Tim in Sacramento.

I'm gonna wait b/c I need to find out if mine will go back into the original spot.

Tim..I have someone interested here in the steering stuff. The brake parts are gone but the A-arms are still connected to the crossmember. If you want the whole front crossmember with a-arms and coil springs, just come down and help me remove it and it's yours for free. It looks like it bolts to the frame. If you need the 2-piece driveshaft out of this truck, you could have it too. I think gasoline in this case would cost less than shipping.

Swaybar is sold.

Tanker...no problem, I'll cut it out anyway. I bought new Milwaukee blades and some 4" discs and might as well go at it while i'm in a hacking mood.
