Customs 51 Chassis, Engine & transmission Value

As part of my 1951 Chevrolet 3100 1/2 Short bed build, I've got the original chassis, engine transmission in rolling form. It was restored before I owned the vehicle and was in good running shape before I transferred the bed and body to a new chassis & Engine setup.

Any thoughts or suggestions on the valuation?

 

Specifically, what do you have? It seems to be a truck, but what kind?

 

A 51 what? Rolls Royce?

My suggestion is that you read the rules on posting, specifically in the " For Sale ". There are a lot of people such as yourself who come on here and the first thing they want to know is, " What's it worth?". My question to you would be, " What's it worth to you wherever you are?". If I'm reading your first post correctly, you swapped the body and bed over to a late model chassis and now, you've got a naked frame to dispose of. You can't seriously expect someone who might be interested in what you have to give you a value before seeing it. If you want to sell the chassis and running gear, read the rules to see how many posts you would have to have in order to sell it in the classifieds, fulfill that requirement and post your ad in the appropriate place along with the location and price. In this case, it would be Parts for Sale and pictures would be a great help.

 

On top of that you do realize that most likely you cut down the potential value of the truck by putting a worn out S 20 chassis under it. No matter how many tens of thousands you spend on it it is still viewed as a cheap build and maxes out I. The low 20's

 

What's it worth? Probably a lot more than whatever you replaced it with...................

 

Fully aware, not an S chassis replacement.
