Additional Information: I am looking to ship a 1947 GMC PD3751 silversides bus. It does run and drive, but I do not feel it is a good idea to make the long trip from california to michigan. It would need to be hauled on a flatbed trailer, and it should be able to drive up onto one without a problem. The picture is not of the exact bus, but one just like it. I also can pick up at your location in Detroit or Chicago. Report a Violation
