Tim,
I did this for my 53 panel and had no trouble at all. Their autotransporter
is a solid unit. The only thing is, that they have a little scam going with
the wiring harness. It only accepts a uhaul connector so you have to buy
one of their adapters to connect your wiring to the trailer.
I also recommend you call the uhaul in Hastings, they may give you a better
price on a one way rental of the trailer and you wouldn't have to tow an
empty trailer all that way. Don't use the 800 number either. Reserve
through the uhaul dealer and don't be afraid to negotiate. I happened to
hit one that had 12 trailers sitting on their lot and the guy was desperate
to get rid of them and gave me one for half the normal rate.

Subject: [oletrucks] Weight, and Width of Art Deco, Towing the truck
home
I am getting ready to bick up my 41 GMC LWB pickup. I am planning on
renting a U-Haul car trailer for this purpose. Has anyone on this list used
a U-Haul auto transporter trailer to haul one of your trucks? I just want
to be sure that it will fit.
Does anyone know the approximate weight, track width, and overall width of
an Ard Deco Pickup?
I live in Magnolia, Texas, and I want to rent a trailer here, tow it empty
up to Nebraska, load the truck, and tow it back. I would realy hate to get
ther with a rented trailer, and find out that the truck won't fit.
Is there anyone on this list in south central Nebraska? Like around
Hastings maybe? How is the weather up there these days? Are the roads
pretty clear? I hope to make this trip next weekend March 17-19. Am I
pre-mature? Do I need to worry about bad weather this time of year?
Your thoughts and advice will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Tim Slesak
