I recently made a trip back home and dropped my car off with my Dad and borrowed one of his 3500 Rams and a trailer. The mission of getting my cars out of California is a daunting one and I don't have a truck and trailer of my own. I am moving my Mopars to my Dad's house in Oklahoma and preparing for a move to north Texas. When I get established there I will move my cars again. Main goal, get the f*%$ out of California!
My Dad and I have already done one of these swaps. I drove to Oklahoma and left my car and picked up his truck and trailer. I drove back and loaded the Duster and he came out in my car, stays a couple days and visits with the grandkids and drove the truck back.
This past week was the second such trip. I go the truck out to Cali and will be loading my 70 'cuda up. This trip I was fortunate enough to not have to deadhead with an empty trailer. My Dad sold his 1966 Impala SS 327 to a guy I know out here in San Diego. I got paid $600 for transport fees. Paid $498 for fuel and slept in the truck instead of getting a hotel (or else I would have been negative). At least my fuel was paid for.
Last time I gave my Dad $500 for fuel to get my Duster back to Oklahoma. I'll be giving him some money this time but partial payment is a 1972 360 block, J-heads, and a whole bunch of parts to put the 360 together. He will be swapping from a 440/727 to the 360 6 Pack/ 5 speed into his 70 'cuda. On the next trip for my Valiant or D100 I will be giving him my small block TKO 600 set up (bellhousing to driveshaft).
Go Fish once you get settled in OKC ping me. I own and operate a Firearms Training Center in North West Ark by Fayetteville. Bring anything you want to pull a trigger on and by end of day I will have you shooting it better. Only fee will be a cold beer at end of day. I love teaching marksmanship. And obviously a Marine Coaching Navy is not uncommon! Hehehehe
PS you do know, what we call an Oklahoma sky diver in Arkansas don’t you? ……. Skeet!
Travel safe guy.
