How big is it?

Not sure exactly. I don't remember, I know it is a Timber Ridge by Liberty.

"When this song originally debuted, the title and lyrics were, indeed, 'Tube Steak Boogie'. However, radio stations were hesitant to announce this title, or even play the song because it's a nasty title and a nasty song. Everyone down South, and especially in Texas, knows what 'tube steak' is, and that's how the song was written. In order to get the airplay on radio stations, the record producers changed the printed title and lyrics to 'tube snake,' which doesn't make any sense at all. but it wasn't as offensive as 'tube steak'. Additionally, the studio went back and distorted the word 'steak,' so it doesn't sound like 'steak' or 'snake' or anything else --- it just sounds like a glitch in the tape, if you listen closely."

When you want to do it?

Good stuff.

Probably a weekend in April. Can't do it this Sat (), the Sat after that I'll be out of town. I'm really only free on Saturdays.

I can help as long as it's doable. If it's a 1000lb beast, might have to make other arrangements.

The coin came through on short notice to deliver my 800lb behemoth. I need to pay it forward.

I'm guessing ~600lbs.

Yeah, I think myself, my grandpa and maybe my wife could do it but he doesn't think so. The problem is his truck (Chevy Colorado) has a camper shell on it, making things a tad trickier.

Moving in a pickup? I highly recommend renting an appliance dolly. It's only like $10 a day from uhaul.

Yep. Using an appliance dolly was the plan. I think he might have one, but I don't remember. I "rented" one fo free back when I worked at Uhaul, but I'm guessing I'd have to pay now since I don't work there anymore.

And rent a low boy trailer you tight ass. 600 lbs. dead lift into a truck is noy cool at all.
Appliance dolly and a trailer. Save lives. Think of the children.

The camper shell might be a problem depending on the size of the safe. Tilt and scoot works way better for loading/unloading than brute lift strength.

Even better.

Or a truck with a lift gate, since uhaul will tell you your Colorado doesn't have enough ass to tow a lowboy.

Dolly it to the tailgate, lean it in on a furniture pad, tilt it up and push it in. That was my plan anyway

That's how he got it. He used to have connections to people with a lift gate truck...and it was in the same town. The trip from TH to Indy is tricky with his connections.

Rural King lifted mine with a forklift and we tilted it back into the bed. Getting it in without the forklift would have been near impossible.

Unloading it involved gravity and terror. That's a LOT of weight teetering on the tailgate.

Won't be easy but I would think it would work.
