The Holmes 525 on my 8400 is a twin boom rated at 12000 pounds per boom with a 84" CA...a 500 or 600 series Holmes would be a better fit on the 2 or 2-1/2 ton trucks.

I agree and should had given more details, but the truck would be used just for yard work only moving nothing more than 1-Ton trucks. I have an old non-GM now and looking to put the 440 on something interesting. As long as it would fit and work would be good enough.

Appreciate the reply.
