***Anyone headed east****
« on: February 11, 2013, 11:16:08 am »
Bought 1987 v3500 rolling chassis from MISSOURI  with complete 454tbi Dana 60 14ff wiring harness etc...no cab or sheet metal, looking for away to get it back to the east coast any ideas on the best way? Tried uship but no one bit on my auction and most of the transport companies want to charge you as if its a complete vehicle because it takes up the same space.

      Unfortunately you are correct, a transport company will charge you for space not weight. 
      That has stopped me from getting vehicles before, I have driven 2 states East to get a vehicle, but half way across the US just to trailer a vehicle home is hard to justify sometimes, unless you got a reason to go there other than the vehicle. 
      You have any family in Missouri ?

No, Its about 500-600 to get it shipped really cant go get it for that. I have a new 1 ton diesel, car trailer etc really not interested in 19 hr drive.
