1028A3 Clearfield Utah to Las Cruces NM route advice?

[FMJ]

Anyone have any leads on a vehicle shipper who can move a mid 80's fullsize Chevy Truck for me? I can probably get it myself, but I'd like to see how much it would cost to have it shipped.

Thanks,
Ed

put it on www.uship.com and watch the bids roll in. Might get lucky and get someone with a backhaul, or dead-heading.

If it's a runner, I can probably get it to Moab or even even Farmington for you.

Looks to be a dead soldier at this point, based on the description.......

Thanks Jim!

Hey Ed,

If you are still after this and can get it to Farmington, you can store it at my place if you want to.

Thanks,

I've got a couple of weeks before I need to move on this, but I'll keep the offer in mind.

Ok, here it is:

that body looks mint, very nice find.
If you dont mind my asking, whatcha pay?

Congrats, FMJ. Hope it's as clean as it looks. Let me know when you are ready to turn loose of your M1008.

$3501.00, but I just HAD to have it.......

Lucky on the find thing, someone posted a link to the auction the other day and I just happened to see it before it was deleted

Jim, you got a truck I can borrow to go get it?.......lol, I don't think my 1008 has enough testicular fortitude for the job, and the Blue truck is down until I get a new T/C put in it....

I'm toying with flat towing it with one of my towbars and the 1008, but there are alot of hills between here and there......plus that truck weighs around 6500 empty I think.....

Here is the way I was considering going, I would like to avoid any long steep grades....lol

6.2 diesels are no powerhouse but with 4.56 cogs, they probably are up to the job. You might consider putting some stock rubber on the 08 for this recovery. Sacrifice top end for some grunt. I took the liberty of shortening the above link.

 

[jimbo*]

That is exactly the same route I would recommend.
I will retrieve your M1028 if you will retrieve my M811 at Carson--gawd that would be a long trip in a duece!

I was watching that sale. I would like that truck too. It looked good but with a bad head gasket and too many projects already, I didn't bid.

Thanks Kenny,

Unless someone comes through on U-ship, I'm going to take the 1008 with 500 pounds of concrete in the rear of the bed to keep the towbar from pushing the backend around.

Ed, besides the concrete you can try moving weight from the dually to the 08. Batts, maybe outside duals and whatever. A few hundred pounds is a few hundred pounds.

Why don't you just go get it with a deuce? Yea, its a little far but it would tow it with less problems.

Let me know when you are going in case you need any help.

Also, I was looking at your route you are planning on taking. The road from Gallup to Shiprock is two lane and not friendly to slow moving vehicles. I would recommend going up through Albuquerque and up 550 to Bloomfield. Its a four lane highway all the way to Shiprock.
