DV: like I said, I would surely expect to pay the transportation charges, this morning I was figuring in my head how much it would cost for me to come get it. I do have family in Chicago that we could come visit.

My guess is about 3000 miles from your place to mine, maybe less, we are about 2100 from here to chicago, so for estimated miles round trip is 6k.

to be on safe side 15mpg (if I bring flat bed trailer, maybe more, if I bring enclosed trailer then less) but 300 gallons of gas round trip, 3$ dollars a gallon is about 900.00 round trip. or maybe I could put the tow dolly inside my truck to come out, then secure body to chassis and put extra parts in truck for return, that could get my mileage up to about 18mpg.

just for discussion purposes 1K to get it here. that would mean 9K for starting budget, in my opinion not a bad investment still. I doubt I could get anyone to transport it out for less than the 1K.

I will keep figgering and see what pencils out.

just mapquested it, they say 2257 miles from sac to pentwater, that is just under 5k miles round trip. look I am already saving money.
