Howard, can you track down the blokes that are paying $3000 and send them my way, I have some deals for them!
I've payed $400 and driven them home.

Hey Euan, I have sent some blokes paying 3 grand for them your way! In return, can you drive some of those 400 buck trucks into a 40-footer and send them my way?!?

Besides the discussion on value - this chassis does seem to be in fairly good nick. I'd say anyone looking for a 4x2 chassis should give this a good consideration.

You are correct, Hanno, it is in a good unmolested condition. I will make an offer down the track.
Cheers,

I just got an email out of the blue...

Hi! Recent discussion at our monthly meeting resulted in $800 being the lowest price that would be accepted. We are a volunteer organisation and need to raise money!
In case you haven't worked it out the chassis is for sale. The ad runs out in 3 days so it will be posted again, but with different less ambiguous wording!

Just reading through some older threads, looking for some particular info. I can't believe the arrogance and rudeness of this 'ron' bloke. And I thought my hub removal socket was a big tool! If he thinks ANYONE ever bought wheels for $250 each, he is delusional, so to base his comment on chassis value on those figures, that's just B.S. Seriously?

A MLU member, a local bloke, ended up buying this chassis.
I will let him divulge the price if he wishes, but I can say that the job lot was closer to the supposed value of one wheel.

That's good news. I REALLY hate when people try to take others for a motza, just because they have very unrealistic expectations of an items worth. This hobby should be encouraged and supported, not extorted. By and large, I have found genuine comradeship among fellow restorers and collectors. Especially so here on MLU. I would not have gotten this far without the support of good folks met through this forum. Many of whom I will probably never get the pleasure of knowing in person, but that hasn't stopped their assistance and support. When I win the lottery (Div 1) I plan on packing up some warm clothes and coming to the southern states to visit every one of you. Until then, I have mates I haven't met.
