    need a good truck (at least 3/4 ton and preferrably deisel), and a gooseneck trailer with around 40 ft of loading room.

    A wedge trailer and a one ton truck. Could probably rent both at your local heavy duty equipment rental place. Cost probably wouldn't be worth it though.

    Id strip everything that will fit in the back of a pickup truck off one Mav and leave it at an auto salvage yard, and trailer the other one back.

    I will try to figure it out it may be a slow ride home making sure nothing flys off.

    well, i saw you bought the one in little rock. (a good buy, i might add) oh, that reminds me, you gonna part it out or save it? anyways, what part of Arkansas is the other one in? if it's close enough to vilonia, and at the right time, we may be able to bring it to little rock when you come to pick up the other one, it all depends on when you're in arkansas and wether i can borrow grandpas trailer.

    well, i'm not sure about it yet. i just emailed the guy about it. I'll see what happens. i don't think it'd be considered "stealing", but i appreciate it. Really i don't know wether i can swing buyin this one or not. i have 500 now and petit jean starts tomorrow. If i get enough money at petit jean i'll buy it then part out either this one or my current mav. either way, it'll put more parts in the mav community.
    -is there anything in particular you were looking to get off of it or were you wanting to buy it to restore?

    well, if i do buy the one in concord, i may not part it out, but use my 77 to restore it. if i do that, i may have some parts on the 77 i could sell to you to fix the one you bought. i don't have a plan yet. (i never plan, just let it happen as it will :D) anyways, like i said, petit jean starts tomorrow. if it ends up i can't swing the money, i'll tell the guy i can't buy it. Have you contacted him yet?
