Mine travels all over behind the deuce or M108. It's heavy, and slows you down some, but I still get to 55.
Here's some threads with mine, should be pics too.

I really don't know why the price's are so high for hardtops. It's not that complicated of a item. Heck, I paid 600 for a complete parts deuce, much less 600 for a top. New 93 motor for 500. I think they are way overpriced, but people must be willing to pay for them. If they were cheap...
I thought it was funny.. I don't get upset by anything that happens on the internet...
Opcom, I had a broken snap ring in the transmission, but it didn't happen while goofing off. It could have been from the burnou, but I doubt it.

Stock boom goes to 20 feet high, because of how high the crane sits on the truck. Just used mine to move furniture to the second floor of the house via the porch roof. Post up some pics and should be able to tell what's different.
5 ton wreckers aren't much better on reach, think they have 2...
Auction posting rule is for GL/GSA auctions. That may have changed, I have to find out.
On another note, I work in parma where the truck is. Looks very complete and nice in the pics, but I don't need another truck.
