Howdy,

I'm beginning to look for someone to transport my Stepside from Illinois, down here to Tampa. I've never done this before, what should I look out for, and are there any companies that anyone could recommend?

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,

TJ

P.S. I'd like to thank Blue Beard for starting a fire under my rear about all this. I saw his 72 GMC for sale, and if you'd paint that truck light blue, and put a 68 chevy grille on it, it's the exact stance as my 68. Even has the same rims.... So thanks again Blue Beard, for the indirect help you've provided...LOL

I havent used these people but they have given me by far the best quote. I havent hired them yet because I want to go get my truck myself and they are a last resort

**68 Stepside** · 01-29-2003, 11:01 PM

I'm assuming you meant preciouscargoauto.com? I just requested a quote through them, thanks a bunch

Funny, I know you online, but your little check box is not yellow, it's grey. . . .

68 Stepside:

Try Dependable Auto Shippers.

You can track your ride all the way there.

Thanks for the praise on my 72.

I have paper on most of the previouse owners, and some papers that look like assembly line papers.

She's original except for the Tilt Steering column, and the wheels.

I am currently trying to get an car shipped from Nebraska to Maine. I got the best quote from precious cargo, but it has been 4 weeks and still no action. I have since gone to another company, called traditional, who said they guarantee 2 weeks, but I have not heard from them either, but it has been less than a week.
I hope you have better luck, but I am wondering if I am just going to have drive out and get the car myself, since nobody likes to go to Maine, apparently.
Being from Tampa, I suspect you will get better service from either of those companies than I have.(or have not, as the case may be)

Sent you a PM

Dependable Auto Shippers usually pickup within 3 days.

I had one shipped by them clear across states in 10 days.
