I'm just glad I didn't have far to go, about 15 minutes from where the truck dropped it off at work to my house. I def got a lot of stares. My buddies at work and the UPS freight driver even gave me a hard time about it.
I got it from Mark Uptmor in Tx, real good guy to deal with.
I'd-a followed ya ... about 1/4 mile back in case your load escaped!
Glad you got it home safe and sound. How many folks helped to off load from the pickup?
Or, you are really The Hulkster from the WWF and use these things for exercise?
It's funny how people were staying way back, I was on pins and needles all the way home. Honestly it wasn't going anywere it was pretty secure.
Four guys help load it off the truck and into mine.....honestly it wasn't that heavy...more awkward than anything. Even though the tag on the pallet said 900 lbs

Back in 1973 I worked at a GM warehouse in Michigan. The Flint assembly plant sent a guy down to pick up some bolts they needed. He drove down about 70 miles in a Nova to pick up what was supposed to be 400 pounds. Turns out the decimal was in the wrong place and it was 4,000 pounds. Didn't bother him a bit. Loaded up the trunk, back seat and everywhere else we could find and sent him on his way.

Not going to push this but are you positive this was 4000 lbs. I could maybe buy 1400 pounds but adding 4000 pounds to a Nova thus giving it a total weight of 3 1/2 tons seems to be a stretch. I think that just might of possibly, maybe, almost, perhaps caused some tire rub!!!
