The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Panels 'N Burbs 66 GMC Suburban Parts Worth

I hope this is the right forum. If not, please let me know (or if it is against the rules)

I have some parts from a 66 GMC Suburban and was wondering what they are worth?

I have the Front split bench seats, with good frames, and also the cushion frames, although the driver's bottom is missing a couple springs. I have the sliders for them as well, but no bolts to attach them to the floor or seat. The passenger flip up seat is there with the brackets. This has both cushions and most of the original fabric, although there are a couple tears in it. I also have the 2nd row rear seat that slides on the tracks and is full width. The frame and back cushion are good, but the bottom frame is bent up and needs help. Could be restored or used as a template/parts for a new one.

I also have the tail lights. The inner housings are nice, with just a little corrosion on the back side and the lenses are complete, although each has a small crack in it, but not too noticeable.

I have both barn door sliders, and also the filler panels that cover the clam shell mounts when using the barn doors.

I have the ash tray

I am also looking to pick up the front and rear chrome bumpers and brackets. The bumpers are decent, couple small dings, but appear straight. they need to be re-chromed.

Can anyone help me with price on these? This is not a for sale thread, as they are not for sale at this time, but just looking to put a value to them at this time.

Thanks

but do you not have a large for sale list on another board and that you are sort of trolling for sales
ron

if they're not for sale they have no value to anyone but you, otherwise they're are worth what someone is willing to pay for them and you're willig to accept

so tell us about your truck

I have another What-is-this-worth thread on another site.

These were pulled from a 66 suburban that is getting crushed in the near future.

These will be for sale locally in the next few week, since i don't want to ship them, which is also why I am asking for ideas on what they are worth so I can list them accordingly.

My current truck is a 1971 GMC Jimmy on a 70 Blazer Frame. 350/SM465/NP205 with Open 3.73 gears. It had body work started by the previous owner, which was not the best (3/8" of filler on the entire quarter panel. both sides.) and needs some work to clean it up. The 350 is out of a 70 Impala and has been rebuilt (prior to me buying it) I drove it onto the trailer and off the trailer and into my garage when I bought it, and it's sat there since. I tinkered with it here or there, but life took over and I'll be selling that too in the near future.

I work near a local junkyard and go walk there for exercise at lunch. When something unique/rare/old/worthwhile comes in, I will grab it to help supplement my income and to help others out. I try and research everything that I see or pick up, and I do my best to pass along that knowledge.

I apologize if this offends anyone, or if it is against the rules. I state that they are not for sale at this time in the first message to keep people from trying to buy them or ask for them in the wrong location.

This sounds like the email I got from a [censored] Bank.

Jimmy, we're not offended, but your post is in bad taste. An alternative to what you've done here, would have been to post them in the for sale section with a "make me an offer" as your price. You can suggest that you might trade for parts for your current project.
Your parts have value to someone who's looking for them, but don't let yesterday's prices fool you into thinking that you made a nice score at work. The condition makes them less desirable. The economy makes them much less desirable. I say post 'em up and let the free market decide on the value. Since that is your stated altruistic goal, right? You just want to help some guys out. So, help 'em out and the rest is gravy.

Thanks for the responses.

just to clarify, I don't do this for work. I actually program computers. This is just a hobby.

And I am not looking to make a big score, just looking to make sure I can cover my costs and a little extra to contribute to paying down some bills.

I have been researching the seats and stuff for a while, and I have found prices ranging from Free, to $50, to $150, all the way up to $350. Tail lights I have seen $10 to $100.

I guess it seems like the best idea would be to post them in the sale section with a price, and if people think it's high, then I'll take offers on it. I won't be doing this for a little bit, as i need to make sure I have the pictures and condition portrayed accurately.

And I would have no problem giving a portion of any sale generated from this site back as a gift. When that time comes, I will PM GMONIZ with some details on that.

This post does not actually "break the rules" regarding buying and selling. However, the spirit of/for that rule is to avoid having posts that have short useful lives in this no-sale/no-swap forum (that is : posts that are only of interest to the buyer and the seller).

This thread is certainly not as blatant nor as offensive as what many other people often try to sneak-in as "For Sale" (or, replies that state "I got what you need, contact me."). Nor is this thread as unnecessary (and offensive) as doing person-to-person "business" when a PM or email message should be done to conduct a personal transaction.

Thank you for self-policing this forum. And, thank you to the original poster for being receptive to people's discomfort.

I'll let this thread stay for a week and then delete it.

To give this thread some merit, here are pictures of the seats for reference. These were removed from a 1966 GMC Suburban and appear to be original.
