I'll get some pics.....it looks like it was a tow truck since it was new. I don't believe its a PTO driven hydraulic unit....it all appears to be electric-its actually in really good condition but way outdated....nobody has a use for the tire bar extension and rubber bumper straps. Its been sitting for about 20 years that I'm aware of. Its 2-tone silver/black with firethorn red interior. They want $2500 for it but they're thinking of stripping all of the tow gear off the frame for me....at which case I said I'd go $1500-1800 for it. The only rust problem is in both front floor braces but even that isn't too bad. Doors, fenders, rockers and cab corners are all solid as are the floors. The firewall-floor seam is clean and its been stored inside a metal building on a concrete floor so its dry underneath too. All of the exterior trim is very nice also-no dings or dents in ANY of it!
