So
jcp430@gmail.com had some stuff for sale. John was great to work with. Appreciate the deal.
While trying to find a way to ship a Muncie, I recalled some folks suggested Fastenal. Turns out they ship store-to-store with a service called Blue Lane Freight. John wired the trans and a few related pieces to a small pallet and dropped it at his local Fastenal n eastern PA on Monday morning. My local in lower Alabama had it Thursday morning.
I was put of town and picked it up this morning, cost was $165.
Seemed simpler and better than when I got a disassembled 400 short block shipped YRC from upstate NY.
