Let me make it clear that I am talking about a swivel frame in "as found" condition, which usually means alot of rust and alot of work. I have well over $2500 invested in mine, and I feel fortunate. It was the last Truckstell unit Steve Swan got out of Florida. Thanks to Dan Mininger it has been removed, cleaned, blasted, repaired, painted, and resinstalled in a clean rust-free midwestern frame. It should add at least $5000 to the value of whatever truck I put it in.
Also - I have observed Dan's reproduction swivel units and they are better than original. Well worth the asking price. Dan is only making 10 units. When they are gone, they are gone.
