    Due to other financial commitments was not able to accept my offer, currently the truck has no commitments pending.

    Truck has air brakes, shes plumbed for a trailer on air, plus shes equipped for a trailer with electric brakes, pintel hitch and receiver the crane has a 7,000 lift capacity with a 10,000 lb hydraulic winch, all extensions are hydraulically activated and the crane has a tremendously long reach, I've plumbed in two hydraulic lines with quick couplers that reach the rear of the truck to work any trailer with a dump or roll on.

    Also there's an air line to run pneumatic tools or inflate tires plumbed into the air system on the truck.

    The only major repair was a water pump. She is going to need new brake drums and shoes on the front axle next safety. I installed LED markers deck and cab with LED turn signals and brake lights with halogen head lights.

    The fender mounted LED's are a bit bright to the driver at night, but sure do have much better visibility than the old style bulbs,LED'S are well worth the money. I went with LED's for one reason traveling over rough gravel roads it is not uncommon to shake the filaments loose from incandescent bulbs. None working lights are always good for a quick ticket, LED's lessen your chances.

    I'll be keeping the 2500 watt pure sine inverter.
