Mid-America 11ft Service bed from a 1985ish F350 with a 15" 5000lb crane. Crane works good and we recently put a new swing motor on it. Rated 1400lbs at 15 feet straight out at 0 degrees. Crane is currently setup to be powered off the remotes of a tractor, but I do also have the PTO and Pump that goes with it. Also has an air compressor powered by a Briggs and Straton engine with electric start. We got the engine running to test the compressor and it does run and work but did not run the PSI up too high. Figure the compressor is just a freebie. Inside of bed and crane have been cleaned and painted just to prevent further rust. Did not paint the outer just so you can see it is original in good shape with no rusted out spots. Bins and doors are in very good shape with very little rust and it is in much better condition that my 01 Reading service truck bed which has holes you can step through!! Biggest problem is the front outrigger is pretty rusty and won"t slide out but still goes up and down. We never needed it so didn"t fix it. We used it around our sawmill to move logs but no longer need it now that we have a bigger Autocrane. Trailer has a 7 blade plug on it and a 5/16 hitch and tows good, but does not have a title. Didn"t need plates in the state it came from but you could apply for a custom trailer and keep it the way it is if you wanted, or swap it onto a newer truck frame. Its a project I don"t have time for and needs a better home. Make an offer.
EDIT: After working the crane I noticed some oil was around it a few days later and traced it back to inside the boom. The extension cylinder must have a seal leaking. Worked fine while lifting and could be used as is but I am taking $700 off the price so the buyer can get it repaired.
This is a local pickup. If buyer wants it shipped buyer is responsible for setting up everything and having the shipper pick it up where it is. I accept cash/cashiers check or paypal.
