masterwelder Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 We just brought in a 1981 F model boom truck. The plan is to part it out. We need the flat bed but the rest is up for grabs... The cab unfortunately suffered some damage when the boom was accidentally dropped on it. I'm not a body man but I was told it could be fixed. The cab is in over all good shape rust wise, it has a few spots... nothing to major. The story is it was a southern truck used as a tractor, brought up to the northeast in the mid to late 80's and converted into a boom truck used to set cages of concrete forums for a contractor. Not used in the winter so it seen no salt. the o.d. shows a little over 300000 mi we believe that to be accurate. Strong running 285 with a 5 speed, light rears and light front. 6 ton Prentice boom on the back. I was told the doors are the same as on the R models, there in good shape. Didn't want to scrap the cab till i checked here. Will part the truck out or let it go complete. let me know if there is something you want. I'm posting a picture of it before the cab was damaged and can get current pictures of the damage for you. We are located in central NY. Thanks.

Vladislav Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Roof is completely different due to a width. Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike69mackman Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Too much money for the shape it's in especially minus the flat bed. Certainly restorable however. Wonder where in central ny it is wouldn't mind stopping to see it as I'm heading up that way on Friday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theakerstwo Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 About 3000.00 with engine and trans would be a high price with the cab damage but you will find that out. Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
