I found a truck up in the northern US. It is 1990 Ford C8000D
has a 60 ft altec over center boom and is a cat diesel with 137.000 miles 6714 hrs. It came from a power company. Im on the fence about the truck due to the fact that the body bins are rusty and have holes from the rust and the truck just looks like crap in general. The truck runs perfect and the boom is tight and does what it is suppose to. Would it be possible to just cut the bins from the body and replace that area with diamond plate or are the bins a structural part of the body and boom tower? It runs great and drives out nice and he wants $14,000. Help
