I got some 60's t-all rear 1/4 windows that need to be picked up @ the rallye in dobbins & brought back to reno (or close to??).
I have to work that weekend or I would be showing up with a ton of parts to trade/ sell.

Anybody going to dobbins that weekend that can bring a pair of these curved glass windows back for me??

Anywhere ~100 mile radius of reno??

Thanks! Darren y.

Let me know asap!!
 
I could possibly help, live in south reno and plan to attend. I do have a 73 pickup shortbed, but will have wife, two dogs, camping equipment, 2 kayaks and 2 mountain bikes on board. Worry about breakage if I throw in the rear, (are they packaged?), and space requirements for the packaging? Windows sounds like something that breaks, (on pc or in an IH).
 
I was planning on wrapping cardboard and duct tape and driving more careful than I would normally they are kinda delicate and curved but shouldnt take up much room

This May just work after all, if y-squared can pick them up from you, be sure to pack 'em extra good!!

I'll let you know asap!
 
I got the cash! I drive a really obnoxious yellow 1973 short bed, stepside pickup. If the IH god is willing, I'll be there sometime Friday before noon. Campground a26. Please pack the glass well. See ya soon. Cell, if there's coverage, is 775-846-1742.
 
My kid is packing them up tonight and I will double check them before I load them. Here is a pic of my truck so you know what to look for. We will be in cabin 6 or 7 see you there ed

The windows are now in my garage. I am too scared to unwrap, but took pains to haul them per directions, (on bed bottom, sitting on edge), protected them from shifting loads with rope holding everything to the opposite side,
and wrapped in everything soft that I had. I also drove quite slowly around the corners coming home, but that wasn't too big of a sacrifice as my truck isn't exactly a porshe to begin with. I don't really want to risk hauling them anywhere now that I don't have other stuff to make a safe cavity for them to ride in, hoping you can meet me at my house for pickup.
 
Awesome awesome awesome goes to show that old internationals dont ride so bad afterall glad we can all work together and make this work. Ed
 
If it weren't for IH-air, I'd have broken them as my plan was to haul them laying flat. So thanks for that. I think those pieces of glass were worth more than my entire truck, so I am relieved.
