Need help moving a part from TN to OH - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**lks dcvn** · 12-07-2008, 11:20 PM

I am interested in buying a cab/bed lift attachment for an engine hoist from another board member and he is in Clarksville, TN and I would like assistance in bringing it North to Toledo.

If we can get it to Columbus - I have some friends there that can bring it up for the holidays...

Is anybody coming North through this route in the coming weeks.

Item is roughly 4.5 feet by 1 foot...

Please PM me or post here if we can get this thing moving in this direction - I won't need to use it until spring - but I am sure the seller would like to see his $ before that -

Thanks!

Greyhound would be your best option, and if it is that small they are really cheap!! The seller can just shrink wrap it up and ship it without a box, easy peasy...
Seriously you could probably have it shipped for under $20..

LUV2XCLR8 · 12-08-2008, 07:11 PM

I have a bud who may be able to do this for about $20.

Let me see if he will do this, if he will I will post here.

**lks dcvn** · 12-08-2008, 08:19 PM

That would be nice - thanks LUV!

Southern C10 · 12-08-2008, 11:39 PM

Im heading to Knoxville TN saturday from Clarksville TN if someone can take it from there to OH. No charge.

**lks dcvn** · 12-09-2008, 10:58 AM

Here is a a few pictures of the cab/bed attachment for those considering helping...(don't need the hoist - I already have one) -

Thanks again everybody.

msgross · 12-09-2008, 12:38 PM

that's fancy...

collapse it all the way down, wrap with shipping saran wrap or cardboard and FEDEX could do it I bet...

good luck ttt

**thelonerife** · 12-09-2008, 01:33 PM

if you want to pay for shipping I can wrap it up in shrink wrap and go to fedex. I'll weigh it also.

**lks dcvn** · 12-09-2008, 01:35 PM

waiting to hear about the $20 miracle mentioned above -

(fingers crossed that it happens)

**thelonerife** · 12-09-2008, 01:46 PM

okay c'mon luv

msgross · 12-09-2008, 01:48 PM

I've shipped a few large items... just try to get it as short as possible even if the weight seems high. You can get a quote on FEDEX.com...

heck, I broke down a blazer rear seat at 60lbs and shipped it for less than $30 I think...

**lks dcvn** · 12-11-2008, 03:13 PM

Any updates LUV?

Thx.

**70cst** · 12-11-2008, 03:32 PM

lks dcvn ... I sent you a pm on 12-9 @ 9:37am offerring to pick it up and deliver to Columbus Ohio for free. You didn't call so I figured you found a way to ship it up north. I was in the Nashville and Knoxville Tn. area and at this time I am on my way back to Ohio. At least I tried to do a good deed.

**thelonerife** · 12-11-2008, 03:45 PM

I've got it boxed up except for the Main piece and two of the longest pieces. I'm going to go try to find a box for them now.

**thelonerife** · 12-11-2008, 03:47 PM

where you at 70cst?

**thelonerife** · 12-11-2008, 03:51 PM

arghh. Im always a day late

Some where off I-65 at a hotel working on reports before I head back up north. I was in the area and thought I could help out but I didn't get a reply so I thought all was well. Hey....it's the thought that counts.

**lks dcvn** · 12-11-2008, 04:21 PM

You had mentioned bringing it up to Zanesville - I don't know a soul in Zanesville to pick it up...

I appreciate it though.

No harm, no foul.

I live in Zanesville which is just west of Columbus Ohio. As a matter of fact I'll be in Bowling Green Ohio next week. Oh well. Sometimes things are not meant to be. Maybe I wasn't clear in my email so that might have been my mistake.

Longhorn Man · 12-11-2008, 05:14 PM

if you get it to Columbus, I can store it inside for you till spring no problem.

Geeeeee.....I would have but you didn't offer free food? By the way...Nashville weather this afternoon was the pits! Rain, sleet, and snow. I thought I was back up in Ohio.

**thelonerife** · 12-13-2008, 11:35 AM

Bks picked it up. Thanks.

**lks dcvn** · 01-07-2009, 04:38 PM

**UPDATE**

B.K.S. picked up the 2 boxes who then took it them to NC with some other parts for badboy007 who then brought it to Cincy, Ohio for a bit and he (badboy007) just delivered them to me at my work on his way up to Ann Arbor.

I can't thank you each enough for this...this is just another reason why I love this board.

If any of you need anything up here - feel free to send me a PM - and if I can help - I will lend a hand.

Take Care!
