Honest opinion for value of complete front crossmember - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My neighbor is interested in the one I have from the truck I just parted out and I want to give him a fair deal. Pics are attached. I'm keeping the ralley wheels. Thanks in advance.

I think the fairest deal would be to evaluate how "close" you and the neighbor are, or could be...You know if he's a Truck Guy too, it might be worth "donating" it to him just as a way to open the lines of communication...

He might have some really useful tools that maybe you don't want to have to buy.....

He might have friends in useful places ( Read: autoparts store )

I mean after all, what is more important here...a few bucks, or having that litttle edge to use in your favor????

:p I am sort of joking with you a bit, but sometimes I think people get too caught up in what something is "worth"....The bottom line is this- It's worth whatever he's willing to give you for it and you're willing to sell it for. As long as both of you are happy with the deal, thats all that matters.....There is no real right or wrong answer here.

Just my 2 cents.

I tried giving mine away and with no takers it went to the scrap yard.

I gave $75 for a 72 setup, just like your pic ... crossmember and up.

50 bucks. He will be getting a ok deal, you will be getting a fair amount of money for a not very rare part, and you both would be happy.

Jason a fair deal would be $50.00.....
hey do you still have the rest of the a/c stuff?

I concur with JYJ on the price. Its an easy way to add disc brakes to a truck, no fiddling with spindles and ball joints, just bolts right in.
