Mechanic recommendation

Hi, all. I live just west of Philly. Can anyone recommend a good mechanic to look over a 1979 f150 I might buy?


Also, any shipping companies or tow guys you can recommend for a 50 mile move?




thx

Thanks a ton. Just spoke to them and mentioned your name. They were really helpful. They don't tow, but did refer me to the company they use, which was just as good. Thx
