Dan's tyres were transported from Colorado to Smokey Point in Washington
State with Gene's 454 gas powered Humvee and a Humvee body which I have
purchased from him. Shipping was over $2500.00, so I suggested that Dan's
share of the shipping should be $250.00, based on deck space used on the
flatdeck. This included the $50.00 dock charge at Smokey Point.
A Humvee windshield which was to come with the body was not there, Gene
thinks that someone may have taken it out of the body assembly while it was
still in his yard, but I'm sure he'll figure out how to make good on this
sometime in the future? Anyone coming from Gene's to the Northwest??
Cheers!
Ian
