Starting to plan for my summer project

As much as I like my Burb just the way it is,old school static drop, I can never leave anything alone it seems. I keep pouring over the " show us you bagged trucks" and the Suburban threads and thought I may as well start looking for a chassis and do some fabbing this summer.

My first question is: What are you guys paying for an AD chassis or frame in decent shape?

Anyone in the NW NorCal Idaho area have one?

I talked with Ponch at The Bag Man to get an idea what it would cost to turn key mine. Drive it to Cali, drop it off for a week and pick it back up after a week with the family down there and drive home done, but I would still have my body on frame and harder to paint and powdercoat it. I'm leaning towards blasting a frame, welding up a 4 link and Scott's front end. Sending off to powder, bagging it as a roller and then swapping my newly swapped motor/ trans and then body onto the new chassis. I still want a truck so then the Oe burb frame would get cleaned up and start looking for a truck body.

That should keep me busy for a bit.
