Re: Truck Purchase and Shipping- Need Advice

well she's clearly in need of some help. If this is cheap I can see the end but trucks like this can drain a bank account quick once you start the tear down. I suspect the rust visible is considerably more underneath, cab corners, PS front fender bottom (battery acid), runners...she is a project. Not sure she is the truck to hop in and drive back across country

plane ticket and an exposed hauler will be about $2k..no need to spend the $ on an enclosed trailer...assuming the truck runs though. Most haulers won't take a non running car/truck

The way Montway worked is you use a cc to pay around $400-$500 of the cost of trucking, thats their kiss and you pay driver cash for balance when they arrive. I got email when truck was picked up (seller also texted me) and the driver calls a few hrs out to confirm delivery time.

The 2 drivers that brought my truck from Ill did it in less than 3 days and my truck was the only thing in the 53" trailer. They said they had a full load going back east so I suspect I just paid for the gas to get out to CA.
