If it was me, I would just fly out there and drive it back. These trucks were meant to outlast the driver. good ol' American craftsmenship. I do agree about bringing little things like hoses, belts, bearings, spare tire(s), etc. Worse case scenario: you get go on an adventure, see the country, and have plenty of photos and memories that will last a lifetime. Half the fun of buying trucks is the adventure! Where is the fun in waiting on it to be shipped to you or just flying over there and trailering it? Go out and make it happen! Get some photos! Tell us the story!
