The Rockwell tcase shifter and parts are pretty hard to come by and that stuff would easily sell I believe. The rear D60 would probably bring $100-200. I'd be willing to bet that front bumper would bring $500 or more if you can straighten it. I'd be interested in it the way it is. To me it looks to be a 67/68 frame and those are even harder to find. I'm a K nut so those little cracks in the front or that rear cross member would not have slowed me down. Around here we have to pay double this truck's asking price for trucks in the same shape. It's getting hard to find a decent project truck. Especially under a grand.

Yes sir that is all very true. Cracks... what cracks. I easily repaired 10 different places on my frame when I tore it down. I do realize not everyone has the equipment and or ability to do it so I understand walking away from it. Hopefully someone saves it. Frame work isn’t all that bad if you take your time and measure, measure, measure!
