Hi Alf No strait up son bought the merc as a curtain side Removed the body to light for my work Built it all myself and fitted the crane Only person I used was Derek MacAloney (Georges grandson) for a pro welding job I cut all the material and tack welded it in place Derek just made sure it would not fall to pieces ;) Forgot about the paint sprayer Cheers Homer 49
ALF Posted November 25, 2007 Author Report Posted November 25, 2007 SO HOW MUCH WOULD WE BE LOOKING AT FOR A TRUCK LIKE THAT ALEX???
