Re: shipping
Yes. I shipped a tailgate from New Jersey to Florida and one from Florida to North Carolina using DHL. NJ to FL was $30.00 and FL to NC was $20.00.
Wrapped the in a Big LCD TV box I got from Circuit City, bubble wrapped and taped the hell out of it and called DHL. They picked it up at my front door for $4.00 more. Make sure you send it DHL Ground.

Re: shipping
Meathead,
I just measured my stepside tailgate. I oversized for packing material and used these figures. 54" long x 21" tall x 6" wide and plugged it into a DHL Quote from 37203 (a Nashville ZIP) to 79403 (the zip you provided) and it came back with less than $20.00 for ground and about 3-4 days to deliver. As stated in my previous post they will pickup from your place for an extra $4.00. Good Luck Harry

Re: shipping
You have to watch DHL, they do not tell you they'll charge you oversize fee or handling fee in quotes. I've shipped a few with them and Fed Ex, two got damaged in shipping, I think it a 50/50 chance, you might tell the buyer that too. If it gets damaged the buyer has a choice to keep it or have them send it back to you and then you have to argue with them to get your money out of it. Its a pain in the butt and you usually are the one who ends up losing money. Good luck
