Thanks Manny. You know I don’t really have a big plan for this one. It has a 540 Leroi gas engine which I’d prefer a diesel but don’t plan to change it for the time being. I thought a knuckle boom with a nice big flatdeck would be awfully handy. I have one now but this one would be much heavier.
More than anything I wanted it just so that I could use it as a guide to make the restoration on my DC75T tractor as good as possible. This one is so original & these integral sleeper trucks are so rare...it’s like a jigsaw puzzle trying to restore one without.
I mean it was $7k! I had more than $7k worth of fun just driving it home! :)
