Thanks,

Also check the local want-ad papers or classifieds in the local paper you may get a deal. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 434 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 434 | i see them on Craig's list around here fairly often.

I stopped at NAPA on Saturday in Gillette. For a new 2-ton was $424.00! More then I'm willing to spend. I'm sure I can get a 2-ton cheaper then that.
What company is the tool sale truck dealin' with?
Thanks,

They have some name brand and some questionable stuff. I recall them selling the cherry pickers for about $180. They haven't been here in a while, so I would guess pretty soon.

Did you make another cab frame? I used your plans to build mine. Great. Thank you

I'm glad you used the plans! It's been workin' great for me also. | | |
