Ooooooops ... most important.... it HAS TO BE DECLARED as TOP FREIGHT!

Told to me by several truck freight reps ... ITS GRAVY shipping!

But it HAS TO BE packaged well

I shipped an original '70 Shaker hood from Mpls to New York through Old Dominion and all went smooth. I dropped it off at Dominion's local truck terminal and they delivered it right to his door.

I crated it in wood and expanding spray foam for a secure and solid enclosure. The buyer arranged the shipping and paid for all of the insurance and fee's. He also paid me for my time and material for the crate.

Try to ship it class 100. The class you list it at greatly effects the freight cost. If you don't list a class, they will probably put it at class 250 & that is a LOT more expensive! Here's pics of a Cuda shaker hood I shipped to a guy in CA. back in 2004. I even built a mini crate for the shaker scoop. He received everything in good condition.

thaks for posting that as i never realized there were different classifications that affect the cost

I like the crating plan. ......But I would put it out for bid on Uship. I've had great luck shipping awkward items from lawn equipment to dirt bikes to parts Take a picture of the crate with the dimensions for the posting so they know what they are dealing with.. Lot's of small independent carriers check there and will put your item on their load if heading your direction. I had an item shipped where the guy was retired and used his motor home for this type stuff. Said it paid for his diesel in-between destinations.

Appreciate the info, thanks !

I need to list & sell a set of Motor Wheel Flys, frontrunners & slicks mounted.
Shipping them is something I'm dreading...

Set OF FOUR ? ... 400 beans ?

Regular fiberglass panels were rated one way....

But add a simple steel T NUT and it gets a muchO lower rate !
