Think of this as your bigger brother!

What a long wait, but it's here now.
I then spent 8 days striping the cargo box down and replacing the wood and then sprayed the whole truck (I used Endura auto paint)

Has a few small issues I'll deal with, and it was more money than planed but I love it.

It drives like a real solid framed truck and much stronger than my Canter was.
I will be adding decals soon to replace the ones I removed.

Specs: 91 Isuzu elf 250, with 125,000 kms
Rated at 2750KG load capacity with a 2 ton lifting crane, frame mounted with 2 hydralic outriggers.
8' 2" X 5' 11" cargo box (10 foot long overall but crane is there too)
PTO pump for crane powered by diesel
3.6 liter diesel 5 speed motor
Factory overload springs, driveshaft brake, and dropside box.
7.00x15 8 ply Yokahama tires

Nice truck! It looks great. What kind of Hp / torque does it have? Have you been driving around knocking things over to spur some business for it??? Now that truck truly looks practical.

power is better than my Canter was, but for specs, I don't know the numbers.
As usual, there's no manual but I'll see on the net about the motor when I find out.

Real happy with it so far. though:)

Won't have internet for a few days but will post more later.

Man that is a great looking truck! Did you spray it? That Endura paint is very durable but... Extremely Toxic. Lets see some pics of it working.

Yea, I sprayed it with a $80 spray gun mafe for spraying cars, etc
The only thing I've lifted so far is this cedar bush and replanted it an a different part of the lot.

I need to buy some lifting chains and straps first.
