Demension X weight

[Tropicalcats]

Does any body have the demension and weight on a 70 Challenger R/T hood?

Looking for shipping cost.

Thanks

Yeah I know......BIG and HEAVY

I'll go measure my hood right now, as for the weight I am not really sure because I never carried it by myself.

[Killer_Mopar]

Just measured the hood, its roughly 66" x 52".....Remember to add a couple inches for packaging.

Do you think its over 100 LBS?

Like I said I have never lifted it by myself. But as a guess I would say that it is under 100 lbs.........

If Im wrong then damn my superman strength!

In Shipping...   theres 2 kinds of "weight"

Theres "Actual Weight" and "Dimensional Weight",  distance is also a factor.


Imagine if you shipped a solid chunk a lead in a 6"x10"x6" box  vs.  loosely packed chicken feathers in a 4ftx4ftx5ft box....

The first box is very heavy, but the second box consumes a lot of shipping space.  Neither weight capactiry nor physical space is infinite when shipping on ships/planes/tranes/delivery trucks.


The hood in this case Im pretty sure will ship by Dim weight and probably arrive on a half pallet.   I think mine was around 85$ to ship by truck ?  Check out some of the ebay auctions on R/T hoods.  and yes there is a lot of extra packing.

Most Common carriers will charge you a minimum charge for a shipment of that size and the charge will cover up to 500 lbs. I drive for R+L Carriers and i know that's how most charge . I run line haul so i don't know the shipping charges hope this helps you out.

Do you remember who you used?

I've freighted hoods and trunk lids in the past and on an average $83-$100. You'll get better rates shipping from a business to a business.

Who have you used Fish?

Believe it or not, you can use Greyhound. They actually ship. They may be less expensive, but you have to get the package to the bus terminal. I know one person that has used them. I will check to see if it was his hood he shipped.

[Tropicalcats]

Greyhound is a good choice but I think I will be  a little over on the size.Size: Packages will be accepted for transportation, provided the dimensions of the package are within 30 inches X 47 inches X 82 inches.

With packing I am close to the limit and I want to be sure the hood is protected so I was going with it being crated which will add alot to the size. I also did not want to have the hood get to Greyhound and be turned down so I went with a trucking firm. Cost from business to terminal will be arond $150.00.

Thanks for he help

I've used Yellow Freight and recently DHL. Had a whole front clip (from trans crossmember forward) for a 64 Polara 500 delivered to my door for $100.
