Even if this one is just a parts truck, it's still a good price:

Ps I'm almost certain that those doors are identical to front doors off of a four door sedan. Xander will know for sure. Also, I think that this is a long wheelbase "Big Boy".

At 1500 his Dad Paid too much.  I think every single panel or part is rusted off or smashed in to some degree.  Even 500 might be top dollar.

I guess that I was thinking that much of the value was in the box. I'll never know if it was because of me or not, but I see that the ad has already been deleted.

I guess if you needed the bed,  I don't remember how rough it was, 500 would be OK (I think that was far from Cherry though or I would have said it seemed like it had a nice bed)  but the rest just seemed like a mess.  Of course a rat rodder or flipper might have snagged it.  If someone was going to restore it,  though,  I would have spent more and bought a better truck.

Well, in any event, it appears to have found a home.

500 is a GREAT PRICE! rare truck-frame is worth that-people who don't know how to do body work always get freaked out when the they see a rust hole or dent

[auburnseeker]

These frames have a tendency to rot and from the looks of this one,  there is no way it can't have rot in it.  A rust hole and a dent are one thing.  Every panel rusted and twisted is a whole different story. 

I think this probably went to someone's house to become a future rat rod pile.

the hood and fenders are worth way more than 500-at least 2000 $ worth of parts there

[auburnseeker]

If I remember correctly, the fenders were all pretty trashed.  The hood didn't look destroyed but judging by the rest,  must have been rotted out in the front.  A rusted out,  wrinkled up fender isn't worth a whole lot,  as most guys already have one just like it,  they are trying to find a better one to replace it with. 

Yes i have a Hudson.  It's a car from the doors forward.  No big difference other than the bumper.   My bumper is off a car.
