I received a quote from a couple of companies for around 200+. I really do not want to pay that. If someone knows a towing service I can callthat might have a better price let me know.
Thanks

That's what I was about to say. If your interested in moving an f-body or something similar to that, it will fit. My friend's have had '55-'57 Chevys, Corvettes, and even f-bodies on those u-haul trailers. Fit pretty nice. I don't think they are much either.

Sorry for being off topic but does your license plate says XCES HP like your screen name? Reason I ask is that back when I was 16 or so I saw this black TA with that plate and very wide wheels. Maybe it was you!

It will fit i just hauled mine from granbury to cleveland tx last weekend.
Make sure you flip the driver fender down on the trailer before you open the door. or it will hit it. My car is lowered and it still rubbed a little. I had to push down on the fender a little more and it cleared fine. Good luck with everything.

theres a rubber "clamp" that holds the trailer fender up. You just pull on the clamps or what ever they are called and the fender falls to the left, it has hinges, wont literally fall off.
