My guess is that truck's most likely in good shape. Those guys (on the door) take good care of their equipment. The original owner did too.

That picture is 2-hour's old ......The kid went out and pick it up and drove home ..........Was pulled over .....Truck squad said you don't have a plate ........A few minute's later here your warning Have a nice day and let him go ....?

No just Crane's and Rotator's.......Gateway had 1 crane guy with a License and all other's were Apprentice's ?

That looks like it was a Wyoming Sand and Stone truck when it was brand new. I'd like to see it now. Either way, I've worked side by side with it at one time or another.

I wish I took pictures of the DM pit trucks I worked on for Portland Sand and Gravel in Portland Maine. They were triple framed, E-6 twin stick 107's. They were geared so low that they were maxed out at 55mph. It was a long drive from The Shop, back to the sand pit. Sure wish I knew then what I know now......

put down the TV remote and click the computer mouse you silly senile old bartstard!!!! 😁

the Granite triaxle in my avatar is now a Connecticut truck too.

Now a Connecticut Tri-axle

That looks sharp. Are you selling these or you just got some NOS for your own inventory?

Ok thanks for that I was just thinking it must have been short lived because my 87 U model had brown

Well now I can’t even get it to open

Grey was around '85 or '86.

OK, thanks for that I’ll give it a shot

Yeah, I’m not sure Mark. It was a brand new R model. At the LA dealer, I don’t remember what year it was but it had the grey interior . I remember thinking I really liked it. As much as a big fan, I was of the dark green they were using 68 to 72

All, Thank you for the response, it has roto chambers on it now. I'll have to look into the space issue, to see what will actually fit. I remember 20 years ago, there was a place in New Jersey that came up with retrofit kits to convert just about all of the stock applications, from the old wedge brakes all the way through, over to spring brake canisters. It's been soo many years that I lost track of them. I found out about them because I was doing a complete brake job on an R model tandem tractor and it made sense to go the extra expense to change out the spiders, and whatever else necessary, to accept the kit to convert to spring brakes.

40 years

Hah..Justification? I think ego is one thing-if the other guy has it, I'm going to top that😎 But I think Hippy raises a good point. I think I see some of these guys doing what I would see as routine crane jobs at construction sites. Here in Mass equipment operators have to have a Hoisting Engineer License. And they are issued for various classes of equipment. I have a 2A that restricts me to loaders, loader back hoes, and excavators. cranes? that is another story. Blackdog..does Conn have a similar license now for construction equipment?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing taking a closer look at the doorstep and that information sticker but yeah it looks brand new. I remember looking at a brand new or model with that same color interior when it was brand new that was a long long time ago.

None .........1200.00-1500.00 a Hour port hole to port hole minny -4-hour's plus assit vehicle's with light's ......State has a list to be on rotation .....dump truck , refer box , Rotator , 3-25 ton wrecker's , loader etc ....

Nice ain't it ?? I have a feeling that truck still looks like that no matter how old the picture is.

ok, ill look as soon as i get chance, thank you!

It would seam so, you don't see wrecker like those running the roads of Michigan where trains can run up to 160K and permit loads above that. What is the justification for a rig like that in Conn?
