Sam...First, welcome to a really good site that has lots of good info on petro....About how to haul restored pumps...I have been hauling restored pumps to shows for several years and I gotta tel ya,,,I never, never lay them down (unless its a visible)..I rent a open-top U-haul (bout $25 a day) and wrap them in blankets (1 or 2). Tie the blankets in place with light rope or line, and strap them to the side rail of the trailer,. Be sure and put a carpet sample or foam between the pump and the trailer side for padding, Use a good ratchet-type strap to prevent from slipping...Also, use some padding betwen the strap and the pump to prevent scraping or denting the pumps...I have had good luck hauling restored pumps this way....hope this helps...tks Warren
