What is more desireable? Big truck 157" Wheelbase or 131" Wheelbase?

I have both but need to sell one to make room. Would $400 be a fair price for just the frame?? Thanks folks. :D Dennis

I don't believe that you are going to get many requests for the frame.
 
I like the shorter wheel base. I've got both and they're nice but I'll probably die with them or send them to the scrapper.
 
Love it! Yes just trying to save the workhorse before putting out to pasture for "lost" photographers. Thanks!
 
I had a 1933 Ford truck with a 157 inch wheel base that never moved out of the garage. You can store more crap on the longer bed, I had an entire '32 chassis stored on the bed so I vote for the longer wheel base (LOL) I ran out of room and had to sell the truck, I miss it!

It had a '40 motor and hauled *** with the low gears up to 40 mph. It was a ***** to stop with the mechanical brakes. The first time I drove it down the street I missed my driveway by a house length.

Actually the 131 inch wheel bases look better, especially if you are going to mount a dump, tow truck or gas tank bed.

Dennis; The 131"wb would be more driveable. If you are going to streets rod one and zee the frame the long frame would be the keeper,if the frames were in the same condition.You know a 32bb frame is not the same 33 and 34bb feames.I have 32 and 33 bb and found out the hard way they are not the same . You don't get much for $400 especially if they have a good vin number. Good luck ed
