Cheapest way to ship 12 bolt ??

[CreepinDeth]

Looking to ship a 12 bolt rear end from Dallas to Chicago.
Any ideas on what a 12 bolt fully dressed WITH disc brakes would weigh ??
AND what the best/cheapest method to ship would be??
Pickup from a business (I believe) to a business.

Got a T56 coming from 50 miles NE of Dallas as well for just $110 through a broker.
I tried to do it myself truck freight and the quote was $225.....

Any input is appreciated.

My Currie rear end was delivered via UPS, that housing was in one box, each axle in their own box, and the 3rd member in a shipping case. Maybe with taking apart the 12 bolt you could do the same and save some money? I don't know, just throwing that out there.

Have you looked into FedEx Frieght?

My T56 was shipped via DHL.

Drop shipped on a pallet.

Try www.uship.com I had a great experience using it and saved quite a bit. The independent shipper picked up and dropped off door to door.

Thanks for the leads guys.

Going to call each and get a quote.
I don't want to break it down. Just ship as is.

3 boxes fedex ground will be the least. The last one I did was less than $100.00

spit it up
housing with pinion
carrier with ring
axles

Break the entire rear end differential assembly down is cheaper ??

To put it all together, require any special tools or is it just pack and play kinda deal ??
I know rebuilding it requires setting bearing preloads, etc.


Not sure so I'm just asking so I don't end up having to go to a shop to have it put back together.
It will cost me the same in the end either way if I have to do that.

Try Freightquote.com and if you can get a wooden rear crate use it, if not strap it to a long skid.
