Ok,

Chrome simulators and a half assed paint job...sounds familiar doesn't it! This is what they offer, nothing more. Both nice guys for sure though.

The truck was kept it pretty good shape on the mechanical end from the previous owner, that is outside the clutch and throughout bearing. This current outfit, they had a difficult time answering basic questions about the truck, in spite of this however I thought it might be worth a flight out.

For the price, it was good, bought it and drove it home. It'll have ANSI and Dielectric testing this week.

Congrats, what did you get? I checked their site, but nothing comes up when he hit the inventory button

Thanks deevo,

It's a VST5000i mounted to a 98' Topkick with 150k...in very good condition for $18,500.

I wanted a larger unit that still telescopes so we went with this. The only issue I see is at 21,000#'s, is going into yards, we'll see how that plays out I guess. The 11k unit we still have made some impression, no big deal, but this fat bastard might displace some topsoil if we're not careful
