'71 Orig AZ SWB frame with complete drive train - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**derotoreut** · 12-28-2014, 07:40 PM

Doing a frame off restoration on this '71 SWB from Arizona. Going with new custom chassis and doing an LS(x) swap. I will be removing the body and looking to sell this original frame with complete drive train. The frame has no rust through and cab mounts are in great condition. Being a '71 it has front disc brakes. Engine is a 250 cu in, with 3-speed manual transmission. Also has front and rear sway bars installed. Bolt pattern is 5 on 5. Coil spring rear suspension. Currently no pictures of just the frame as the body is still installed, but you get the idea. There will be no title with this frame, since I will be retaining the original title for my build, so Bill of Sale only. Thanks for your help.

assuming all parts are original-ish (not recently rebuilt) i would say $700 to $800 for the frame and suspension plus whatever value of the eng/trans on top of that. i assume wheels/tires excluded... not sure on engine value but if someone can test drive everything before you tear into it that will get you top dollar.

This is an all-original Arizona truck. Vintage air was added to it, but other than that it's original and very solid. Wheels and tires will be sold separately.

$500 bare frame, $800 with drivetrain if good running condition. If engine is a newer rebuild though I'd sell seperately for more. Can try higher though since you're on the East Coast.
