is the blazer stock or lifted. there is two different ways of shipping. found out the hard way,mine was to wide for common carrier and had to on flat bed.had to ship mine from nebraska to michigan. higth and width make a big difference in pricing.

He is just trying to ship a top. You'll probably either need to find someone coming your way with a flat bed or have it crated and shipped. Sounds expensive and complicated either way. I also see a huge opportunity for the top to suffer damage. They are awkward to lift and carry if the hatch is on.

69TowRig · 08-21-2007, 10:47 PM

Crate it, weigh it, and call Forward Air...

**BAD4X4** · 08-21-2007, 11:29 PM

Bouncy maybe I can have my old single wall top off ol'orange!!!

hgs_notes · 08-22-2007, 08:18 AM

Sheesh, and Minnesota was too far?!

The guy that bought mine works for a trucking company, so it will get picked up when a truck is coming through my area. Know any truckers that go through MI?

Sure, but it comes with a truck under it... And if you have to ask the price, well you know...

Did you see the top someone posted in SLC, Utah? At least it isn't quite as far.

JUSBLAZ · 08-22-2007, 10:30 PM

Where in Michigan is the top? We have a truck dock at our shop, and would be willing to help crate it for a case of beer. We also get discounts from a few carriers, but I still think it might be cheaper to find one a little closer.

**BAD4X4** · 08-23-2007, 12:13 AM

Lennon Michigan I still can't make up my mind. Thanx though Dana

**jaros44sr** · 08-23-2007, 05:22 PM

Did you check the Transportation site yet? Just a thought.. J.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-23-2007, 11:17 PM

Must be a really cherry top if your shipping it that far..

**BAD4X4** · 08-23-2007, 11:58 PM

Transport site? Yes the top is cherry and from another board member. If I got it it would help both of us out.

Angelse68cal · 08-24-2007, 01:19 AM

Shoot take a vacation and go get it you can do the trip in a few days.

72armyswbtruck · 08-24-2007, 05:59 AM

Round trip gas $300 or so, Leave on a Friday after work drive, drive, drive and you could be in Michigain in no time, load it, turn around and come back maybe only have to call in sick on Monday... If it is a trailer that you be needing maybe someone on here would let you borrow theirs. Sorry I sold mine or I would.

Yeah, it's new to this forum. go over and see if anyone may be planning a trip or post up your needs. Some of us are retired and would take it so far and piggyback it the rest of the way across the country. J.

**BAD4X4** · 08-24-2007, 07:50 AM

I have several trailers. I'm out of vacation. I talked to a buddy about driving there and back, but boy thats a DRIVE! jaros I will look into the new forum. Thanx for all the HELP guys!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-24-2007, 08:01 AM

I know where theres a few down here.. tops that is..

**BAD4X4** · 08-24-2007, 10:12 AM

FRENCHBLUE 72-
Do you have any number? For the tops that its...it might be another option...

Chevyman63 · 08-24-2007, 12:57 PM

I am assuming you were going to get this top from Joe, if so I live close by and am willing to help all I can from this end. I know that doesn't solve your current problem though...let me know if I can help.

*jojotonka* · 08-24-2007, 12:58 PM

Dana, Did you make up your mind yet???

I could probably meet you a little closer if that would help... My wife has been buggin me to go to Chicago. I have two little kids, so it's kinda hard to get a sitter for the whole weekend. I might be able to get to Des Moine, IA.
Just a thought..
I do want to get that top outta the pole barn.

Let me know...

**BAD4X4** · 08-26-2007, 01:43 AM

Joe I'm still waiting on a couple friends with trucking companys. I will call ya soon. I worked over 70 hrs this week. So I havent had time to call ya. Thanx Dana
