Hello everyone, new guy here, just thought I would break in the 5ton area.
Bid on this truck in early January, from Little Falls MN. Took almost 60 days for a EUC. Then had the truck picked up by RAYS body shop in Little Falls. They checked it over since I thought I was going to drive the thing home, and found the dump cylinders were missing. After installing cylinders and a tailgate, during testing, the water pump started leaking. They replaced that also. Got to RAYS on Friday before Memorial day, and decided to have it delivered rather than get busted for not having license plates yet (had insurance was hoping for a temp plate after applying for HMV). Tow truck from RAYS broke a front alcoa on the way which delayed delivery until Memorial day late evening. Got to drive the truck to destination after filling one tank while attached to wrecker. This thing is a blast to drive! Crawled through the woods just fine, never even engaged the front axle. Found original safety manual from 1972 and 1985 operators manual in real good shape in the glove box.
