Cheap shipping method for a rear bumper?
Does anybody know a cheap way, or know some trucker who goes cross-country that would be willing, to ship a wrap-around step rear bumper?
There's a guy in Palm Springs who has a bumper I LOVE, but UPS, FEDEX, and anybody I talk to require that it be crated for shipping. I find it hard to believe that there isn't ANYBODY who will ship an awkward item like this without crating it.
Does anybody have any ideas? I live near New Haven, CT.

I just shipped a rear bumper from a 1957-63 truck by UPS. It cost about $20. They charged more because of the size, not the weight. I made a box to fit the bumper. This was a factory bumper, not a wrap-around.

Try a truck freight company and have it shipped from terminal to terminal. it's usually pretty cheap. they may want you to strap it to a pallet but that is easy enough. I have shipped engines this way and the most expensive was $110 from tenessee to denver.
