Description for GMC Other 1973

This is a fun truck and I really like it and hate to part with it. It's not anywhere close to perfect and has some problems but its a functional, cool and very fun truck for the money. It's just basically the condition of an old work truck that's been used and maintained over the years. Has a gas BBC, not sure if its a 366, 396 or 454 but it runs pretty good. The starter is getting weak and makes it hard to crank over sometimes, and the gas tank has crud in it do it's currently running off of a boat tank and an electric fuel pump. Trans is a 5 speed with PTO to drive the HOLMES 500 twin boom setup. 2 speed rear end that's geared super low, this truck will pull anything. Has a wheel lift and well as sling and pivoting booms with wheel dollies. The wheel lift also has a receiver hitch for pulling a regular trailer. The wheel lift can currently be used by holing it with the boom cables but is also hydraulic, but one of the hydraulic hoses are cut and will need replaced before it can be used. The lights, and flashers work, has CB radio. There is minor rust in the floor board but nothing back and I think a spot or two on the bed. It has power steering but the pump isn't currently hooked up so its functioning as manual steering, not honestly sure what the pump needs, but I just drive it like it is. There is a leak in the radiator overflow (Brass) tank that needs to be soldered. Tires are not great, but functional and serviceable at least. Fresh oil change. Like I said, this truck is geared VERY low, so 50-60 MPH is about all you are going to do on the highway. Its a super fun truck that's also useful that you could justify owing because of it.
