Help choosing an 871 truck

[serv]

Wow, it’s been a long couple of months. I met the truck in Houston a month ago. We tore into it for a week. First things we removed were valve cover and oil pan/pump. I made a list of around 11 issues then we put the truck back together and sent it to a Houston Penske shop. It took them about a month to fix those issues. After getting the truck out of the Penske shop in Houston, I delivered it to Houston truck rigging and they converted her to tandem axle and stretched her the proper length to fit a grapple crane. I drove her five hours home yesterday from Houston. Will be running the overhead later this evening. I’ll post some pics of the progress as soon as I figure out an easier way to do it.
