Wow! That's certainly a good sized load! The trailer's gotta be around 8,000lbs and the manlift is probably close to 20,000lbs.

Good to see another old truck working. Mine has paid for itself hauling stuff a few times over. It does as good or better as a new truck so why upgrade. What I like the best are the looks I get .

That could always be arranged.

Cool pull. And yeah, I like the funny looks too. "That old truck can pull that?"
