1970 4x4 chassis

[Walkersan]

I know this is going to sound odd, but I have a 1970 4wd truck sitting back home that my dad finally got around to putting back in my name, long story. Unfortunately, some thieves and vandals have stolen parts off of it, and broken most of the windows out of the cab.

I have a friend that wants the frame, axles, 4 speed manual transmission and transfer case. The problem is, I have no idea what it is worth. Its going to a great cause, so I am not concerned about making a ton of money. Any thing I make on it will go towards my 72 Super Cheyenne build.

It has the 4 speed like I mentioned, 8 lug axles, and as far as I know it was original parts. Any ideas what its worth? It was running when the engine went bad and got parked, drive train wise.

Thanks for any support.

Without knowing how much rust or scale is has it is hard to put a accurate price on it. Lowest price $500 to $1,200 high end if it where really clean and the axles, springs and drive train are all there and working properly, with good rims and tires. John

The axles, transmission and transfer case too? He basically wants to put his good condition 72 body on this chassis after cleaning it up. I figured the transmission and transfer case would be worth a little on their own.

Thanks for responding. I wish I was closer so I could get some numbers on the parts, but I am not. Just looking to ballpark.

If I were the purchaser i wouldn't pay too much over 6-700 for a complete frame/running gear. I mean once in a while you can get lucky and get a whole truck for the high end 1200 price stated above. Like said above a lot depends on the whole overall condition of all the parts and there functionality.

Thanks guys, as always you have given me confidence to move forward.
