Auto transporter needed from NY to NH I'm looking for a company or an individual who could transport my truck from the Syracuse, NY area back to New England. Not sure exactly where to bring it back to since I cannot finish the truck myself. I'm hoping one of the local sponsors will see this and feel bad for me and offer to finish the project. Dez, SDCE, Eastside??? I don't know for a fact how much work is left to be done, but, I want the truck back in New England NOW!!!!
If anyone has any suggestions for me, I'm all ears. I'm assuming the truck cannot be driven at this point so that is not an option.

thanks chef. how about he hauls it to eastside? I can't guarantee anything other than the engine was built by LME and the fuel system was built by speed inc. I don't even know if the turbo kit exists. i just want the truck to run/drive. screw the turbo.

From a shop point of view it is hard to take a job that is in pieces and confirm they can do it. Who would get the blames if the truck starts and then seizes the motor for some unknown reason? see the point 
i'll talk with the guy's at the shop and see if they are interested.I know we have a ton of big projects starting already for the winter and your truck takes a ton of room.

i just got pics sent to me last night. it's not as far along as i was told it was. but, the turbo is installed and the fuel system is installed. the front end is still off the truck though, not happy about that at all.

I got a guy if you're still interested here in Nashua, NH.
Here's the # to call, (Dustys Towing) 886-3455. Talk to Linda over there and explain what the deal is! My buddy Dave Ripley is good friends with those guys, so tell them he recommended them.

post the pic's that you were sent.....
I would definately be driving out there to take a look at it.. and I'd definately be calling the better business bureau and sending them all the information that you have.. unless you've already done that.
You've got a major project in the works..... I don't know if anyone would want to pick up where someone else left off.. it's a guarinteed headache for whoever were to do it that I am sure of.

looks like it's more together than i initially thought. the grill and bumper are not on yet, but, the rest of the front end is. I was hammered when i started this thread, so, maybe i'm jumping the gun. He said it is being tuned today/tomorrow.
I don't know what to think anymore. Like I said before, I like John, he's a really nice guy, but, these deadlines keep passing by like the seasons. it's out of hand

looks like it's nearing completion in that pic turbo and everythign appear to be together.
I do agree with you though... if a deadline is gonna be set, it needs to be made realistic, and be met. I deal with it at my work all the time, customers want one thign, we want to give thema another and somewhere in the middle is usually what ends up happening.... its the ones that the office sets a little tooo agressive for production are what usually start a stink. Whoever set the deadlines with your project... was pipe dreaming a little bit..... or they ren into ALOT of setbacks... which you should have been kept up to speed with, somethign that I don't thinkw as being done as it shoudl have been.
Look at the bright side, when it is done, you're gonna have probably the baddest full size crew cab truck around period. I just hope the driveline doesn't mind the power.... you're gonna be pushing alot more then most people have done in one of those for sure.. be ready to find some driveline weak spots.

yeah, i agree that it appears to be almost done. I also agree that it is gonna be badass. I started this post 3 days after I was promised pics and I didn't receive any. I was at my breaking point.......finally.
