I am looking into buying a truck from a fellow board member and need advice on shipping. the problem is the truck is in Iowa with no motor and I am in Florida...anybody out there ever ship this type of truck (no motor) or any ideas where to look for shipping?

go pick up a copy of hemmings motor news and check out their service section--there will be a very large section devoted to auto transporters-find a few that operate in your region and call several to get info and quotes. good luck!
