hitting new country at the same time. The only time I had a
problem was picking up a 58 napco suburban last summer - that
puppy stressed me out for 5 months before I left, on the way to
pick it up, during the actual "pickup" and -- after not being able to
trailer it myself and hiring someone to haul it back for me -- until
she was sitting in my driveway!
>>>Here's a hint about Uhaul and I know most list members will
agree - if you are going to drive roundtrip to pick up the truck - rent
the uhaul local as they will gank you on a one way rental. They
quoted me $400 to rent in Amarillo, TX and trailer my 57 sub home
to Houston. Instead - I rented in Houston, did the trip in 3 days @
$45/day. I guess if you're going to be gone for awhile - this method
might not work.....
>>>Anyway - if it's anything other than a napco monster - any 1/2T
with a class3 will work! Do it yourself.
