Going price for tub/body

[meanjean73]

Going to look at some tubs tomorrow. No title and obviously condition effect price.

No doors, tailgate, fenders, windshield. Just the tub.

What’s a good price for tub that needs rust repair. I’ve seen some sell for $1500 others for $5,000. Just looking for a range.

Seller is asking $3k. I don’t know condition yet but thought it would be a good idea to get suggestions from the experts here.

$3000 sounds about right for a solid tub, but if it needs structural metal work (door posts, etc), I think it's overpriced. Having said that, I haven't followed prices in the past 2-3 years.

I thought the same thing. I don't mind some floor pan replacement but if the A and B pillars are shot or the seam along rear quarter panel is rusted out $3k seems high. I don't even know how people figure pricing some things?

When you can buy a tub kit for $5400 and weld it up, hard to spend much more than $3k. I know, its lots of work to build one from scratch but so is replacing door Pilars and other parts of the body.

i got one in a trade for a set of aluminum wheels that i wasn't using. shipped from a neighbor island.

Had to pass, it was laying on its side, no rear quarter panels, rocker panels and missing parts of the A pillar. Was barely braced up to prevent warping while on its side. He immediately lowered the price to $2k. I would have a hard time paying $500. The search continues.
