Re: shipping a 68 longhorn 50th
If the truck runs I don't think they're discriminating against it. 1400 sounds like a good price for literally all the way across the country.

Re: shipping a 68 longhorn 50th
take a week off work and ship some tools over there... and drive it home!
It ain't cheaper, but it is a LOT more fun. (you were away for a while, but that's what I did when i got my burb from the Seattle area) |

Re: shipping a 68 longhorn 50th
$1400 is a good deal to get one that far, cost me $1200 to get a blazer from Oregon to Kansas

Re: shipping a 68 longhorn 50th
I.d like to see pics when you get it home.
Man i wish i could haul trucks on occasion. Even though i have more than capable truck and trailer job and house wont let5 me get away. Love driving my blue crew hd and seeing the countryside but as said, hard to make it profitable unless you do short hauls or can haul multiple vehicless at once. Sorry for my rambling hope u get er home safely Posted via Mobile Device

Re: shipping a 68 longhorn 50th
shipping a vehicle through a broker sucks. period. I've done it a few times.... will never do it again.
you best bet is to call direct to shippers and see what you can work out.
