Anyone have advice?

It might even be cheaper if it was on some kind of rolling dolly. It would seem too big for a pallet.

What would you guess would be the cost of shipping a rolling chassis from Central TX to Albany, NY? I would like to start a new project and AZ or TX seem like nice dry places to find a project vehicle.
Thanks,

It was probally the best load that F**d ever carried. I bet it made the cab feel like a king being carried by a F**d! :p 1,800 miles round trip, but man it was a great weekend! 2 guys, bleeding eyes, bad coffee and a "truck Part" as my wife called it! :confused: She still tells folks I drove across the country to get a "truck part". | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 543 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 543 | Try BAX shipping. They specialize in shipping outsized auto parts, especially engines, body parts, cabs, and so forth. BAX.

The cheapest would be a running car, then a chassis or non running car, a big crated cab would be the most expensive unless it was a smaller trucking company set up for such a thing. The handling is the expensive part. It needs to get loaded and unloaded numerous times before reaching it's destination.

Scott No time to travel and the cost would be prohibitive.  | | | | | Joined: May 2003 Posts: 328 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2003 Posts: 328 | I would talk to a freight broker to find a partial load on a flat bed that is travelling through your area. I ship things often this way. The only downfall is that the person you are buying the cab from and yourself have to have a way of loading and unloading the cab from the flatbed.
Never hold your farts in. They travel up your spine and into your brain...that is where crappy ideas come from.
