Nice! I'm jealous. I'm sitting here thinking of all the things I could do with that setup right now...
Did you cut and section the bed keeping the tailgate in the same spot or did you move the bed back? I saw your sling guide is still between the tandems but can't see the back of the bed.
It WAS a good crane. The controls are stuck. He cut the lines from the pump when he removed it from the truck instead of unscrewing them and he torched the U bolts holding it on. the lines are in bad shape and I wouldn't want to put pressure in them. I'm sure the pump is ruined cause the cut end...
I looked at the M927 and it is definately the most expensive of the bunch. It would eat into the crane budget significantly plus I would probably want a bigger crane for it since it was a bigger truck. Which is even more money.

It's on a skid but can be taken off the stand and put in the back of an SUV even. Trying to figure the shipping out before I go all out on bidding.
Thanks in advance. I'm new and let me know if I'm out of line.
I'm in TN and had a M38 Jeep for a long time and have always had a love of MV's. I've never bought anything off of GL however and am trying to learn how to do that. Any links to threads would be appreciated. I've read about 3 pages deep in the GL section and still don't know.
I'm really wanting...
