I am thinking of selling my 68 chassis. Stock chassis, 4 wheel drums, stock rallys and caps, motor mounts for SBC. It had a SBC and a 4-speed. Was crashed but can be fixed easily. So, what is it worth?

I`ll take a stab.It`s just the wrecked rolling frame,right?Unless you find that certain interested party,I`d say it`s worth scrap money.If you find that interested party?Same answer.

The front of the frame rails in front of the suspension is bent about 1-2" to the passenger side.

Since the frame is the last thing to go in most vehicles, I'd say it may not be worth very much especially since it has to be straightened. Most people don't have the proper equipment to do frame work so they have to take it to a shop and that means extra expense.

The other thing that may reduce it's value is that it's drums all around. Most people wanting just a frame will look for a 71 or newer one first. I say strip it of the rear axle, crossmember, any useful parts like the tires and wheels and see what you can get for those. You may get more for them than the frame.

I agree on scrap price. I am not sure about your wheels and caps, look like stock wheels with s-10 caps. Grab any good parts first if you scrap it. Rearend, motor mounts, etc...

Guys here have been trying to give away truck frames. Short bed frames too

those are stock steel wheels not ralleys you might get away with paying somebody to $50to make the frame disappear
