Picked this little gem up for $500. Ran when they parked it but had been sitting for around ten years. Now I just need to find the time to get it going.
New toy project.

Good score. It’ll be a fun project.

Thanks I'm really happy with it. Hopefully get to work on it next spring. I had Easter weekend off and then we started hauling stockpiles and we've been working steady since. I still need to finish my shed from last year.

I think I would toss the truck and save the boom and you got a steal!

Yeah but I love old stuff like this and I don't have another truck big enough to put the picker on.

Looks like it could be a handy piece of machinery. Do you have a specific use for it?

Get her up running bet you could make extra $$$'s doing jobs.

Not a specific use, it's more what can't I do with it. I'm always fooling around building or fixing various things. A little picker can come in very handy.

A little update on the picker truck. I’ve been tinkering on it as I have time. I’ve taken a few pictures but as usual I get working and forget.
My list of repairs so far.
New fuel pump
Added a pressure regulator and gauge
Redid fuel tank straps
Fixed U bolts that mount picker
Got all lights working
Redid front brakes and repack bearings
Fix two speed axle shifter
Repair rotted brake line
Removed all the vacuum trailer brake components
There is still a long list to do but I’m having fun and this will be an awesome truck to have on the road.
