The power box from an '83 D-150 will fit in the large Priority USPS shipping box and weighs just a touch under 35#. :lol:

You never know. My mother in law shipped a dehydrator to my wife once while we lived in Germany, and I was deployed at the time so she sent me a care package. The USPS being what it is they sent me the dehydrator and her the care package thanks to the military postal system. That plastic dehydrator flew in a couple different planes, into two trucks on a main supply route (that I protected), through a minefield, over a float bridge, and into a different truck. It was then dropped unceremoniously on the ground during mail call.

Not a scratch.

We learned that MREs don't make good jerky. And that sometimes the mail can surprisingly survive a lot of abuse.

Poor English, at that. It's an incomplete sentence without capitalization. My late wife the English major would have a cow. :shock:

Better a cow, than laying an egg, and getting into that chicken crossing the road bit post hatch.
