    Helped my buddy load up cabs & beds today for his rust free Arizona sheet metal trip back to Hershey/Carlisle.

    I would describe the trailer as precarious ::eek:.... yet well balanced :D

    Hopefully all the weight stations will be nice to him. What other items went on the trip with him?

    Truck is registered as a motor home so he drives right by weigh stations without stopping.
    Guy makes 7-8 trips cross country a year & never gets stopped by the cops.

    The enclosed box is full of fenders,doors & grills.

    I now wholesale most of my used parts to him & let him argue with all the "thrifty" customers..... but he gets top dollar for Arizona parts in the northeast.

    Dry parts to the northeast

    I believe I have seen him many times at both Carlisle and Hershey. He does indeed ask top dollar for his parts. Being "thrifty" myself, I usually just stop to say hello.

    The parts really are especially nice, though.

    The guy doesn't drive 5000 miles round trip back & forth across the country haulin' this stuff around for free... so "top dollar" is a relevant term.

    You guys in the rust belt of the northeast should be glad he hauls this stuff back for you.... 'cause when he retires in a few years... you will then have to pay $800-$1000 in freight shipping charges just to have a $500 cab delivered to your neck of the woods.:rolleyes:

    Like I said, his parts are especially nice and top dollar is indeed a relative term. Spend it now to get great Arizona sheet metal or spend it later fixing the garbage that we usually get here in the northeast.:rolleyes:
