Square Body Crane Truck

[79vette]

Figured I would post this up for those that are into the old square body work trucks. I am still looking for a K30 with a wrecker box, but I bought this a few weeks ago to tide me over.

Its a 1988 R30 cab and chassis, TBI 350, SM465, and the narrow dually 14 bolt rear end. The flat bed measures 8' long by 7' wide. Odometer reads 34500, and based on the wear on the brake pedal I think its closer to 34k than 134k. I bought it from a guy that ownes a monument company, and bought the truck new in '88 to deliver stone monuments. There is a massive cemetery ~0.5mi from the monument company's shop, and I think the truck spent most of the last 30 years making the run from that cemetery back and forth to their shop.

Also if you need stone work in the southern California area, the guy's phone number is still on the door lol.

Just got it home:


Parked out front with my M1009:


Needs some new carpet and a dash pad:


Unloading my new toolboxes:


Put up my Utah flag, just to have another excuse to play with the crane:
