Restoration Project
Very solid truck with only surface rust.
All sheet metal and glass intact. (Glass has not been cleaned)
Original seat (with hole, needs to be recovered), original steering wheel, radio, interior knobs, exterior lights, emblems, data plate, etc. are all there.
Headliner and visors are in place.
One side mirror has broken glass. Radio speaker is pulled out, but still attached.
Diamond plate bed is solid.
Has not been started for many years, but the fuel tank was drained and flushed, the oil and filter were changed, and the starter Bendix was serviced and greased when it was parked.
We purchased the truck in 1981 from the original owners, so I know the odometer is correct.
The amazing Arlo Model 2100 crane weighs 7000 pounds has a retracted length of 24'4".
When fully extended to 100 ft., and the outriggers properly set, it is rated to lift 1800 pounds with the boom at 80 degrees. (5500 pounds at 30 ft extension at 80 degrees)
The original Onan generator was removed for storage and could be included with the truck if buyer desires.
Must see to fully appreciate the condition and the capability of this machine.
Keys and clear title in hand.
