Front clip issues

[spec-v5150]

What would be the ill effects of having a front clip slide down a trailer?? Could I **** up the oil pan??? Or the transmission?? I want to let it slide down slowly, but 1200 lbs is alot to keep in control with one guy. The guy who is supposed to deliver my clip is SLACKING big time. My **** is 20 mins away. about 15 miles. And it is raining (actually drizziling) and he is waiting for the weather to "calm down". ****ing north dakota dumb *** farm boy *****es. i hate this state. I spent ALLDAY yesterday calling every trucking company int he phone book. NO ONE could help me. UPS COULD, but they wont ship engines...even if its 2 miles. Unless they are from the manufacturer. No one has liftgates. So I am thinking of slidng that ***** off a trailer

Hmm we let my clip slide down the trailer, but it had wheels on the front and was sliding on the frame rails in the rear of the clip so nothing important was actually touching the ground. If yours doesn't have wheels on it maybe try and round up some spare tires that are the right bolt pattern. With wheels on the front it was easy enough to hold up the back of the clip and move the clip around steering with the steering wheel.

Also if the ramp is steep at all you may consider trying to devise some kind of rope and pulley system, a wench, or something like that to let it slide down slowly. The ramp mine came off of wasn't very steep so we were able to keep it under control. Just remember better safe than sorry. I know you want to get it ASAP, but if something happens to it think of how much longer it'll be before you can get another one.

DAMN I dont want to call it off and get down there only to find there are no wheels. They other delivery guy said it was wrapped tight. So he couldnt even see it. It is sunny as **** and this ******* hasnt called me. I hate where I live. No one in an entire city has a liftgate except for two companies and they are retarded

Nevermind....he called and is on the way!!!

THERE PROBABLY WONT BE WHEELS. AND GI TRUCKING WILL PROVIDE A PALLET MOVER, AT LEAST THEY DID FOR ME.

good to hear that it should be at your doorstep by the time you read this, DON'T **** IT UP BY BEING IMPATIENT NOW AT THE LAST FEW SECONDS!! You should try calling an automotive repair or automotive towing place, usually they would have something that could help you I'd think.
