Buying a frame

[FOSTER21]

What would be a decent price for a good frame for a 67-72 swb?

I believe it depends on the condition. When I was looking for a swb frame they seem to always be going for around $400. I got lucky and found one for $300 that had a stepside bed and rearend still on it. Of course the bed was in bad shape, and the rearend was missing the drums but I have parts to make it usable. People on the board are always selling something at some point. Be patient so you don't rush to buy a frame with hidden damage

OK thanks. I have a guy local that has several so we'll just see what he wants for them.

Hope that doesn't mean you found some damage on your new acquisition.

No damage on my truck just look to build a frame while i can drive mine. You know to put some of that porterbuilt stuff on

But, there is SOoo much more money up there where you arepeople got them edumacachuns and what knot. up thar by that fanci learnin school. all kidding aside I think $3-400 could get you a nice one around us even rolling with 5 lug on the top side. Good luck in the search. Jim

If you can negotiate a good price on getting it straightened, I'll give you one. Tweaked pretty bad on the DS behind the crossmember though. Already has c-notch cut-outs.
