Looking for a nice '68-'72 SWB bare frame located in Mid-atlantic or Southeast. Might trade something--what do you need?

03glide · 02-03-2004, 05:26 PM

I responded to another thread about a swb leaf spring frame. Would you be interested in a leaf spring frame?

**smitty62** · 02-03-2004, 05:44 PM

Not sure--let me think on it a day or so--how rusty is it? will let you know one way or the other. Thanks,
Dick

I just took the front clip off last night. Haven't had a chance to look at the frame in detail. From what I have noticed it appears to be nothing more than surface rust. I will try and get a good look at it tonight to better answer any questions.

smity62,

I am trying to buy a partially complete porject from a guy locally. All I want is the sheet metal.

It is a 69 SWB with power drum brakes. He has put all new brakes, shocks, and ball joints/bushings on it. He also sandblasted and painted the frame. It is a complete rolling chassis.

We haven't negotiated price yet. He is supposed to give me a price in a couple of days. If you are interested in the rolling frame it might let me offer him a little more and close a deal.

He also has a 350 crate motor still in the crate and a rebuilt 400 trubo if anybody is interested. He is selling these seperate from the rest of the truck

By the way I am in middle TN.

smitty62. The frame I just bought is bogus! It is a converted lwb. Looks like sh*t. I didn't notice it until I got the bed off. I guess when you spend alot of time on a board you get a sort of family feeling and let your guard down. CAVEAT EMPTOR even on this board. I do have some good news.... I just saved a lot on my car insurance.LOL .

Litdave....Have any idea what he wants for the t400? Is it newly rebuilt? Shift kit?

03 I HAVE A TRUE SWB TRUCK THAT I BOUGHT FOR PARTS, IT HAS BEEN HIT IN THE FRONT AND HAS SOME DAMAGE BUT I AM NOT SURE IT WOULD BE FIXABLE OR NOT I WILL TRY TO SND YOU A PIC. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO TRADE IF INTRESTED. PM ME

**smitty62** · 02-04-2004, 01:04 AM

Jeeez Brian, I'm sorry!

what a bummer! I know what you mean about the board--I though the same thing until I bought two junk wiring harnesses from board members. One of them is big into selling stuff on here and seems on the surface to be an all-right guy but trust me, he's a real prick. I just hope he advertises for something I've got--I'm going to sell him a real piece of junk at a real good price.

It's a d@mn shame you can't trust guys in your own hobby!
Maybe it's time to start a feedback forum on here like Ebay's.

Glad to hear about your insurance!

03glide · 02-04-2004, 01:11 AM

PT'S 70CST.. What is left of the swb. Is the frame any good. I actually have a good swb, but I thought I was going to have 2. I have 2 '68s and a'72, so I have a lot of stuff. Is there anything in particular you are looking for.

smitty62..I have definitely had more positive experiences than negative. I enjoyed meeting you and a few more members on my trip.

I HAVE A LEAF REAR & A COIL SPRING REAR FRAME I MIGHT DELIVER FOR $$$$ .. LETS TALK. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO TRADE?

**Tim Christian** · 02-04-2004, 01:24 AM

I have a 1968 SWB frame with cab and title $200.00 in Northeast Tennessee

**smitty62** · 02-04-2004, 01:46 AM

Hi Tim!
Any chance you could send me some pics? Anything you can tell me about the condition of the frame and cab? I might be able to get over there and buy it if it ever stops with the lousy weather!

Dick

PT'S 70 CST · 02-04-2004, 02:03 AM

IT IS A COMPLETE TRUCK AND EVERYTHING IS THERE BUT IF YOU WANT THE FRAME I WILL STRIP IT. I THINK IT IS IN GOOD SHAPE YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PIC WHERE IT HAS BEEN HIT BUT I REALLY AM NOT SURE HOW MUCH DAMAGE THE FRAME HAS IF ANY, I JUST GOT THE TRUCK A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO REALLY GO TROUGH IT. THE TRUCK LOOKS TO BE PRETTY SOLID.

PS: BEFORE ANYONE ASK THE BED HAS ALLREADY BEEN SOLD AND IT WAS A RUST FREE BED AND VERY SOLID (MY BUDDY SPOKE UP FOR IT BEFORE I COULD EVEN GET IT TO THE HOUSE.)
