Just another day at work.

I've been told my new mission is to bring this truck back to beauty. I dunno about that. I told him she's beautiful just the way she is and the truck has LOTS of character... on every square inch :wink:
The stories this highboy could tell... two of the most significant being that It's been rolled over, and it's had a huge oak tree fall on it and cage in the roof.
He wants to make it nice again. Sure would be a VERY cool truck restored. I say unbolt the cab/front clip and pick it up with the forklift and drop it in the scrap trailer, and drop a new body on. Clean it up and let it go on some more "adventures" lol

Very cool. I hope he has that boom certified every year like we have to do in NY. Last think you want is that breaking in the air. Two months ago on one of my competitors bucket truck the basket with the operator strapped in came off and killed him. So be safe with that stuff. Also keep us posted with more pictures :clap:
