Any ideas on boxes??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a headliner, AT cross member, and some door panels sold to different members but I can't find any boxes to put the stuff in. Anybody have any ideas where to get some?? Help is appreciated, Thanks Randy

How about a fridge box from sear's, one of the big one's. Cut to cover part wrap wih 900 mph tape.

Randy what I've done in the past is use a larger box like a dishwasher or freezer box and then fab a box the correct size. For the flat stuff like the headliner and door panels I think you could just sandwich them with some large pieces of cardboard and secure them together with the stapping tape. Good Luck..Stroker

Randy, check with your Pepsi or Coke drivers, the signs they use outside are heavy plastic. I shipped a grille and a tailgate band with em'. Worked good!!

Thanks everyone!!!!
WOW Cdowns I guess I'm a bit different than you, when you have as much stuff as I do you really don't know whats going to sell. I post a pic of truck and stuff and people reply, I tell them I'm trying to find a box top fit it there stuff in, they don't send money until I give them a shipping price, so personally thats the way I do it! Do you have all your stuff boxed before you sell??? And personally I've never had anyone complain. And another thing I just asked about boxes, I didn't ask about how you personally do your business!! Thanks Randy

RANDY:
sorry didn't mean to offend you, to answer your question yes i do have things boxed and ready to ship because i sell mostly on ebay and i give the shipping price in the auction amount, i just find it alot easier to have that done upfront since the 90+% of things i list sell i like to ship the same day i recieve payment.

one other good place for boxes for likre the door panels and crossmembers is a bicycle shop GOOD LUCK

Thanks, I've got some computer guys looking too. I'm just out in the boondocks and we don't have any company's around here to get boxes from and I don't go to Topeka very often. Thanks everything is fine, Randy

I sold a bicycle trailer for kids (Burley) on ebay that I had already boxed up. Paid about $30 for the box and tons of peanuts...... the guy who won the auction lived 30 miles away and picked it up himself. Understandably, he wanted it removed before handing over the cash.
