If there's any chance of you being able to grab it before the 11th and hold onto it for a couple of weeks, and if towcat's heading out to Texas on December 1st or later, is there any chance of you getting the truck to Eureka, CA around Thanksgiving weekend? I'm driving up there to see my mom and could bring it from Eureka (or a bit north; maybe I could go up to Crescent City?) to the Bay Area...Let me know if no one else can help, I can probably lend a hand I'm in Salem OR
Maybe even me and Towcat could meet up . I just need fuel/trailer covered mainly... I sleep in the cab and mcdonalds is cheap
Might be interested in the truck too if it cant make it to Tx
FWIW I just checked U-Haul's site; they're saying $138 for a one-way trailer rental for that trip...
