Just bought this truck out west and bringing her home
Hello all, Just bought this truck out west and having it shipped home in a couple weeks. It's a 1993 extended cab long box, two wheel drive and is going to be my summer truck. Here are a couple of pics. It has a couple of small dents behind the driver's door where the trim is but zero rust which is what us Michiganders worry about most lol.

Re: Just bought this truck out west and bringing her home
Have you talked to any shipping companies about shipping yet? I need to find an outfit to bring my crew cab from South Dakota to Illinois. Shopping around now.

Re: Just bought this truck out west and bringing her home
Just fpr my curiosity why wouldn't you drive a nice truck like that home. I know time is usually the biggest reason.

Re: Just bought this truck out west and bringing her home
Thanks for the offer. I ended up having it shipped for $645. Went through a dispatch service evidently. They basically got a $145 cut for setting it up and I had to pay the actual contracting shipper $500 on delivery. For a 700 mile trip I didn't think that was too bad. This was the first vehicle I bought without seeing it in person and also the first vehicle I haven't driven home myself. Just didn't have the time to do it.

Re: Just bought this truck out west and bringing her home
As far as driving it home, It's a 2000+ trip and by the time I buy gas and ad my time I think $900.00 for shipping is a good deal. Also I do not have to worry about breaking down on the road.
