Yoos Brothers Construction Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Hey guys, I just picked up another 866 V8 the other day from a guy my family has known for ever( It was the first I ever met him in person) and he showed my brother and I a set of aluminum frame rails he saved from a Cruiseliner he scrapped(I think). All there are is 2 aluminum rails and one aluminum cross member from the truck. The rails are not in the best condition but they are still usable. The reason I ask is the man that I bought the engine from(the one with frame rails too) thought My brother and I might be interested in them. What are they worth? I'm just looking for a rough idea on a price because there is some other parts and one truck I will probably get from him in the future so I am going try a package deal. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 53 to 85 cents a pound for extruded aluminum so a few hundred bucks to have a set of light weight rails for a toy.

umodelnut Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Does this guy have U models Josh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoos Brothers Construction Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Sorry Vinny, no U models but he does have a hood off a DM which is the same as a U model laying upside down in the grass. The only truck he has left is a very rotted out mack EF. Thanks, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
