    looking for some advice on start up truck

    Thanks a lot Daniel son. Good point. I did find a really good mobile inspection company. That would inspect it on location for 440 bucks. I'm staying far away from the old truck. Need the hieght of a bigger boom. Sounds like auction would be a good way to go.

    wood chuck 17 advice
