Guy in my area on craigslist has a perfect one for $150.00 I still have not figured out how to link the ad. But I can download the pics. He has an email link only, if you like what you see in the pics, I can get it for you and ship it to you if you want to go that way. Its a 73 dart trunk pan, Salem Oregon craigslist. The ad reads $150 see pics for details.

He has listed it off and on for like 2 years, seriously. It started out the same price, I almost bought it when I was replacing my trunk pan, but found an entire rear clip for same price and went that route as I needed quarter panels too which it had. He may be willing to ship it himself, if not I can go up and buy it and get you some shipping quotes, worst case scenario I have an extra one around for the next project. I usually always recommend greyhound to ship large size or akward items, super affordable comparatively, but can be very slow in transit. Like a few days to a few weeks. Just depends on how soon you want it vs how much you want to pay for shipping.

Greyhound has an online shipping estimator, from that you can take it to your local greyhound station in the cardboard box or wrap. Make sure you have it boxed, or know the dimensions of the packaging size when you estimate it. The greyhound station will put it on their scale. Its a good size scale, tell you how much it costs, which if you weighed, measured and entered the numbers correctly should be very close if not spot on their estimate. Some stations, if large enough offer from station to station shipping or station to front door shipping. Station to station is the most affordable, and easiest way to go. They will give you a receipt with tracking information on it. Just be aware as I said before, its sometimes very efficient. Sometimes a bit slow. I think the last package I shipped to Kansas was a slow ride, just depends on how many connecting schedules and trains are going there and when. But it does get there ultimately, and affordable.

Greyhound at one time was awesome...however not as many locations participate in their shipping program as used to.
Definitely the only economically way to ship anything of this size.
The size and weight maximum dimentions are listed on their website.
The last thing I sold / shipped through Greyhound was a fiberglass hood for an early A-body and it was $100, but because of it's size took forever to arrive as they said they had to wait for the busses that could handle it (it was their maximum dimentions on the two long sides) and that bus had to have an empty spot for it, since it took up an entire cubby by itself.
It eventually arrived in perfect shape though...albeit about 20 days later.

Yeah, I think the last thing I shipped took close to 3 weeks to get there. It's like he said, got to have the space on the bus and going to the destination of choice. But the cheapest option for the size.
