What's the cheapest way to ship a hood?

I have finally found a hood for my '83 Z28, but it's 4 states away. What is the cheapest way to ship it? I don't care how long it takes to get here. Thanks for the help.

You really don't have a great deal of choices. It is oversize for most traditional methods and that leaves you with truck freight.

Make sure they pack it good. We get a lot of hoods in here were I work and they often come in damaged, corners bent, creases in the center, etc. More often than not the damages come from the common carriers.
