Okay, thank you. I thought if you were close enough to me I could help you out but you are 10+ hours away from my location. There are guys in Michigan with frames I have met over the years so you should have some folks raise their hands to help you soon.

Consider adding your location to your information, it helps guys like me to make sure we are close enough to help people when they have a need.

Thank you and good luck with your search.

Thanks, Dave.

I considered adding my location originally, but figured that might limit who might respond...especially if people were willing to consider shipping.

Hoping for the best; thanks for the reaponses.

I have sold my rolling chassis and body so it is no longer available.
Sorry I was not able to help you with your needs.
Good luck with your search and best regards,

That's a heck of a deal, and if I remember correctly, 75 was the last year for dual exhaust.

It has four 15" X 7" wheels with tires to roll it around, has front end complete, rear differential (3.08), spring, trailing arms, etc. I have a steering box for it you are welcomed to take as well. Take the parts off of it you don't want or need, sell them and reduce your total spend.

This frame has been put on the rack and gauge blocked, it is straight with no damage. I have four (4) new body mounts (driver and passenger side #2 and #3) I was going to have welded onto this frame to assure it had great mounting points for the body. Doesn't have to be done, just something I like to do when I have the body off the frame. I can include the mounts if you want them, not yet welded in place. For $200 more I can have them professionally welded in place on this frame. Again, your call.

$1,000 and I will meet you in Columbus, OH (Southern route is warmer in the winter, better chance of less weather) and we can transfer the rolling chassis from my enclosed trailer, to your trailer.

That is the best offer I can do. 75 and 76 frames are pretty darn close to one another.

Sorry for the long post.

Have a great week and best regards,

David - This is a good offer..I will send you a separate message.

Thanks!!

These are decent pictures, but can you get a close up of the front, drivers side moint behind the front wheel? It looks like it's pinched or bent in the second photo from thr top and we just wanted to get a better look.

Thanks a ton,

Mike

Mike,
If you are interested in the top frame in the pictures, it is from a 76. If you come and pick it up you can have it free. I'll be posting that to the forum shortly once I figure out how to make the posting clear about what is being offered.
Frame is damaged up front but can be repaired. Very solid from #2 mounts back.
FYI.
David

I removed my pictures and my offer from consideration. Others should continue to work with the OP to see if you can assist him with his needs.
Thank you and best regards,

Default Damaged 1976

I have a 1976 that was recent damaged. Broken motor mount. Mostly suspension issue. Insurance covering $6000. I can decide if I should repair or put the money n a new car. I have about 8K in it. Any suggestions ?
