New guy from PA

[KilgoreTrout]

I looked for pics and realized I didn't really have any except these 2 from when I bought it. I'm the third owner.
The original owner was a big local crane manufacturer in my home town. It was one of their fleet trucks. The 2nd owner was an employee who bought it from them because he said it had the 350 rebuilt just before he got it.
He said he drove it to work for a few years, but then got a small car for the gas mileage (over an hour commute), and he's only used it for truck duty for over 15yrs (which was confirmed through the dmv because it hadn't been registered since 2003).
He half-ass painted it when he bought it because he said he didn't want it to be obvious that he had one of their fleet trucks. I believe it was originally solid dark green.
The guy wanted 3k, but I thought half of that was reasonable.
Lots of work ahead of me, but like I said.....I drove it home, so that's half the battle. Tracks straight, steering is good, frame and body has a lot going for it. No idea wtf he was thinking on the color. He said he didn't really realize that mixing green and white would have such a blue tint. [emoji23]

Does anyone here know what the plow setup might be worth? It's an old school meyer angle setup. Its complete, in nice shape, and even has the old meyer switches mounted in the cab. The PO said he never even had a plow for it.
I've pulled all the wiring and will be removing the mount, etc, this weekend. I considered keeping it because it's really cool and all original, but I could use some parts money for other parts.

Dunno if its worth more to collector of that stuff or someone who needs to repair their setup. I see full setups with the plow blade going for 400-500. I've never seen one with round lights so thats kinda cool. What kind of pump is on it?

Nice. I'd have to look at the pump. I'm sure it'll need rebuilt/seals/etc.

Just making sure I didnt sell you a motor that grenaded. I sold a 350 out of my basement a few years ago but my house is built like a bank barn so I can drive right up to my basement door. The guy pulled his ford, tailgate down, right to my door then we heaved it into the bed lol. Lots of alleys in Bangor, i like em.
