There is a Frank Paxton in Denver. Since it is located 45 minutes through traffic I hesitate to drive there due to old age. I can but don't like to. So before I make the trip can you tell me if they cut down the 5 foot piece? If not how do you transport it? I do not have a pickup any longer and it will not fit my Durango. I could have my wife drive but she likes to put the pedal to the metal and makes my knuckles turn white!
