PARTS RUN? L.A. to Sac in the next few weeks/months?

[sactoC10]

Just wondering if anyone is coming up from LA in the next few weeks or months who might be able to stuff a tailgate in with their load. Here's the deal...

My truck's original owner is a gentleman who's health is failing down in SOcal. The tailgate for my truck is still down there with him. His son saw it last week during a visit down there. He'd NEVER be able to package up, nor probably even pick up the tailgate to prep it for delivery to me. The son (who I got the truck from) lives near me. SO... I want it, but getting it does not seem too easy.

If on one else can grab it for me, I could potentially do a parts run down there myself, but I don't see that happening any time soon. Any ideas?
