Boxed up a tailgate today! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I sold this tailgate to a board member so I figured I'd show some pictures of the packaging. Lets cross our fingers and hope it makes it there as good as it is now

I've always wondered how to ship a tailgate. Thanks for the needed info!

Down south truckin · 02-20-2009, 09:10 PM

I was thinking about screwing some handles for them to grab it by but was worried that it might not let them stack or stand the box where they want to??

Very nice job. After he pulls out the gate he can put a few shelves in there and have a place to show his diecasts.

Thats a damm great idea!!!

I'll definitely let you know how it made it 'cross country!

**FleetsidePaul** · 02-21-2009, 01:11 AM

How did you ship it, I was thinking about doing the same thing.

Andy4639 · 02-21-2009, 08:46 AM

That is a nice packing job. The die cast idea is cool to. I bet the shipping ant so good though! If they go by weight anyway.

Reminds me of the story about a guy shipping a garden hose in a box that was an inch square and 50-ft long.......

Nice looking box. I don't know how anyone could conceivably ship it and expect it to arrive in as good a condition unless you did just what you did. Knowing that they ship 'em from Taiwan in cardboard boxes, should let the buyer know how much more you cared that the transaction was an honest effort to provide the best possible care.

Just write cobras inside handle with care on the box and your set!

**special-K** · 02-21-2009, 03:20 PM

That`s a nice crate.
