New England-to-Carolinas parts run anyone?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

XXL · 08-22-2002, 01:31 PM

Anyone making a New England-to-Carolinas run any time in the next millennium. A fellow board member has offered to do some work on my cab for me and now I've got to figure out how to get it to him. I'm in MA, he's in NC.

Or... if anyone knows of a reputable freight company that is reasonably priced, I'd love to hear from you. Basically I have a cab, no glass, and it will have a pair of doors on it (or maybe in it). The cab is on casters so it can be rolled. And I figure I'd do a few wraps of closed-cell foam, then some Mobil wrap to keep it all tidy.

Anyone?

Thanks in advance,

Kenneth

Contact Crews, he is a board member and you can PM him. He'll be back in NH before fall, he may take it on as a haul back.

Thanks for the call... sorry we got cut off in a tunnel. I'm a good ways from you...

I'll try to ping Crews, and I've got a few other people I'm going to contact as well.

Thanks again,

Kenneth

About to give up

*big71* · 08-29-2002, 05:12 PM

dont give up iam trying to get my truck fix if i get it going ill be able to do it what did you think about the cost

T-man · 08-30-2002, 09:17 AM

There is a guy in Beverly Mass that totally rebuilt and customized my friends '72 Blazer. It is black and straight as hell. I will get you his number if you would like.

XXL · 09-08-2002, 05:21 PM

I'm pretty close to giving up on this. With all the trucks and parts that seem to be moving to and fro on this board I would have thought I'd have better luck with this

Heck, I can't even get shipping companies to call me back with shipping quotes.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Kenneth

It looks like you're in western MA, near NY. Would you be coming this far east (I'm in Walpole, between Boston and Providence, RI)??? If you are, that sure sounds good to me. I do need to work out some logistics with Tony about whether he can meet up with you, etc. It looks like he's contacting you via PM to discuss. Just keep me posted what you guys discuss.

Thanks for checking with me,

Kenneth

Prison?!? *shhhhhh!*

Actually I'm on the other side of town, but this isn't exactly a big place. I'm about 3 miles off of I-95 and about 1/2 mile from 1A, a mile or so north of 27.

Thanks again,

Kenneth

Don't know if this will help or not but, if you can't get anything figured out by december, i will be making a road trip to DC. the first weekend in dec., maybe second weekend, know i can't remember. anyway let me know.

I will be heading to ny in two weeks also, but am flying. Think they will let me carry it on?

*big71* · 09-17-2002, 11:21 PM

you are talking about oct .12 ya i could drive to VA.

XXL · 09-30-2002, 07:28 AM

TODDS 72 & [big71], I'm trying to get my act together on this cab, but it's starting to look tough for the weekend of the 12th. My wife's father passed away recently and we're knee-deep in handling stuff related to that. How late can I get back to you guys on this before I miss the boat... er... truck?

Thanks again,

Kenneth
