Superdog Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I bought this partially restored 1925 AB cab & chassis a little over a year ago. I know it was advertised and placed on Ebay on and off for at least 2 years prior to me buying it. First time I saw it they were asking $8000,I bought it for $3500.I bought this other 1925 AB for the price of scrap at the time,$400 .Alot depends on where you are and of course how bad you want it. I'd say start around $2000 and go from there.Hope that gives you a rough Idea.

Patdbossct Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I was at that auction Pat. I think most everything went reasonable. good deal on those trucks.Yes Maddog was really reasonable auction. I ended up with both AB's (finally started the frame up restoration on the better one a week ago) and the FT and the Brockway. Btw Im looking for the brass headlights & Y brackets and all the components on the steering wheel for the advance, and throttle if you see or hear of one for sale let me know please.
