Thanks ya its been on the sale ads here on and off. And I have been thinking about it as long as it was posted here. I think I got my ducks in a row and found out as much info from here and the seller (nice guy) to go ahead with the sale.

PS: Oh I forgot I had to convince my wife that I needed one (ie I can lift the trusses now when we build the house and barn

John, thats only an 11 hour drive from my place by normal car. I bet I could be up there with my wrecker in 3 days. Let me know if you need help with the trusses.

The seller is G-744 (Dennis Gilliam). Dennis is a real straight shooter and has been a part of the hobby along time. He has some very cool stuff there in the Dez.

Welcome to the "Old Hooker" club.
These vehicles are amazing pieces of equipment.......but be careful...most operations are a minimum of a two man job.
Winching and using the crane reqires close coodination between an operator and a spotter/hook up man.
Have a great time and be careful.

Congrats on the wrecker!! I was tempted by it for a while,but funds just weren't there.

You'll be happy with the Mack,awsome torque and power under load,you'll wonder what you ever did without it!!

(I have 3 of them myself)
