68 4 wheel drive frame
 

I have located a 68 4 wheel drive frame, rolling chassie axles and transmission transfer case and driveshafts for 500.00 dollars. is it worth it. I seem to think it is and have been looking for a while, would like to have other opinons though. Thanks

sounds good to me especially if its a SWB. I have seen 1 or 2 lwb 4x4 go quickly around here for 400 - 450, dont run across the 4x4 much around here though.

either way, SWB or LWB, i'd go for it. it's what i'm looking for to convert my truck to 4x4.

I just sold a 69 3/4 ton rusty cab...no bed/4 spd-205 transfer/ disc brake front for 650.00 a month or so ago. it is probably worh what you are paying. 67-72 4x4 frames bring good money!

Re: 68 4 wheel drive frame
 

I personally wouldn't pay that much, I would look for a newer frame with the NP205 transfer case and disc brakes on the front axle. The rockwell t-case and drum braked front axles are good for scrap and that's about it.

Re: 68 4 wheel drive frame
 

My 69 had a 205, and disk brake open knuckle dana under it . Why would you want a frame of off a newer vehicle that wont fit the cab or bed without alot of fabricating ( or are you talking about a 69 - 72 frame?)?

Does it come with a title? CG had one that was missing some parts for much less but had a clear title. Too far away for you however, but he could not sell it for $200!!! There are some really cheap prices out there right now.

I just paid $700 for the same set up but a 1971. Sm465 trans and NP205 trans case Disk brake front end and supper solid frame.
That's in New England where anything rust free is hard to find.
Go for it!

Wish there was an inexpensive way to ship these parts east...you guys need a break. You would all cry if you saw what some people throw away on a weekly basis.

Re: 68 4 wheel drive frame
 

True dat.
Walk in a so-cal junk yard, and you'll REALLY start to cry.

Re: 68 4 wheel drive frame
 

Not for $500...

drum brake axle and usually no provisions on the frame for power steering. Rear springs and longer an hard to find for a lift...

I would look for a 71-72 myself... or give the guy $300

The transfer case isn't scrap but not cheap to rebuild either...

Re: 68 4 wheel drive frame
 

Thanks for the imput, i have decideded to wait and try to find a 71 or 72 frame.

another board membe in NY just paid $450 for a 68 short bed frame with axles and steering box. It was in very good shape though...and a shorty
