72 swb frame - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

David Johnson · 04-16-2008, 03:41 AM

I have a 72 swb frame I've been saving for a future project, but it's just in the way all the time. Comes with what you see including ps gearbox. $275.00, bring your own rollers.

**STP67-72** · 04-16-2008, 04:17 AM

Just curious if you have tag and title. And was it a v-8 truck.
Thanks

**Hart_Rod** · 04-16-2008, 05:19 AM

Does it have any damage? What would you charge for the rollers? Any ideas of the rear gears?

David Johnson · 04-16-2008, 05:30 AM

I don't know any of that stuff and I don't have a title. I do know it's not a perfect frame, it has some "towing/loading" type bends in the rear crossmember and at least one of the shock mounts has been welded. No rust or scaling that I see. BUT, it is priced cheap, even for the condition. I'll have to check the tire condition before I can price the rollers. Thanks.

john@thepier · 04-16-2008, 06:14 AM

WORTH IT ALL DAY LONG even if there is a little hammerin to do to get back into shape, If I was closer it would already be mine. TTT for ya

David Johnson · 04-16-2008, 06:17 AM

Checked the tire condition, not great. let's say $300 total w/ rollers.

David Johnson · 04-16-2008, 08:01 PM

Surely this isn't going to end up as pasture art...ttt.

tommypic · 04-17-2008, 03:06 AM

well just look at where its at , if I was closer it would be in my yard

not just a stone throw away

**jamie72** · 04-17-2008, 03:20 AM

same here if it was closer i`d be interested..

David Johnson · 04-17-2008, 08:05 PM

ttt, one more time

DieselEater · 04-18-2008, 03:34 AM

still here

tommypic · 05-01-2008, 12:47 PM

cant beleive its not gone , like I said it would be in my yard by now if I lived closer

David Johnson · 05-01-2008, 10:13 PM

I can't either. The front crossmember and suspension is worth more! How about $250 w/ the rollers!!

49m · 05-02-2008, 04:10 AM

only if you were closer

jorgensensc · 05-02-2008, 05:00 AM

Darn, If only I had someplace to put it!!! Any info at all on the rear?
Shawn

David Johnson · 05-02-2008, 06:19 AM

All I can tell you about the rear end is that it is a 1972 model 12 bolt with a non-posi. The pinion turns 1.5 time for every 1 rotation of the axle. So ???? Sorry that's the best I can do without pulling the cover.

jorgensensc · 05-02-2008, 07:29 AM

David,
Can you do me a favor when (you get time) and turn the axle 10 times and count the number of turns on the pinion? I know it seems like I could just multiply out 1.5, but that rear ratio would be 1.5, and they didn't make that, so it has to be a little more turning going on. Thanks
SHawn

David Johnson · 05-02-2008, 04:50 PM

I agree that is a strange ratio. But, I turned the axle 10 times and the pinion turned 15.375 times. I turned the pinion 10 times and the axle turned 6.5 times. Either way I'm getting 1.54. Something must be wrong. Any ideas (besides pulling the cover)?

70rs/ss · 05-02-2008, 10:18 PM

Shaun, buy it, the rear is worth half the asking price and I could buy what's left!?

Seriously, LMK

Multiply by 2, = 3.08..................

David Johnson · 05-03-2008, 03:43 AM

Thanks man! I feel stupid.

jorgensensc · 05-06-2008, 04:19 AM

hart, thanks for clearing that up!
David,
I was able to get my broken bolt out , plus I don't know that I can give up my 3.73 gears. Thanks for getting me the info though. Hang on to it I'm sure somebody needs it. It would be a shame to let it go to scrap.
