Hey Ross, fancy meeting you here ;')
That is a concern I had, planning on calling Fedex Freight and asking about getting
it
into a pickup, make sure they can do it. I should do that now...
An 8 foot bed, with the tailgate down would only be 3.5 feet of overhang (unless
they
consider the part on the tailgate overhang, too, in which case it would be 5.5,
hmmm)
Once home, figured I'll use a combination of gravity and my chain hoist in my shop.
Think I can (locally) borrow a full size pickup like an F150/250, but if the overhang
is
going to be an issue, I may need to re-think, take you up on your offer. Exeter
is a bit
farther north of the 402 than I am to the south, so more distance. Hate to ask
you to
actually make the trip across the border with a borrowed truck/trailer, too...
Thanks for the response!!
Later...

All of the people in my building are insane. The guy above
me designs synthetic hairballs for ceramic cats. The lady
across the hall tried to rob a department store... with a
pricing gun... She said, Give me all of the money in the
vault, or I'm marking down everything in the store...
