Ha ha thanks! Been out 9 years after 25 with Ness in Seattle,don’t miss it at all!

Small world, I probably know you. I used to work for PCL in Seattle. I recall an operator/lift director, Greg maybe, who retired about that long ago. When Rick Wolff was still with Ness. Do you recall a girder removal/new girder over 167 in Sumner, back in 2012?. 550/450 2 crane pick and the old girder exploded when it got set down across the freeway? Big scramble to demo the girder in place (Jeff Johnson doing demo) while trying to get the Ness cranes broke down at the same time...

And thanks for the pic of your truck. I'm in the middle of painting ours and getting ready to order the new pinstripe kit. OEM was 3 light blue stripe sand 2 dark blue, but really wondered what the opposite combo looks like, like on your truck.

could be, greg hogan is probably the greg you are talking about, he retired before me,I heard about that, but don't think i was there on that job. I was on ness 180 lattice boom for awhile then drove truck cause my neck got so bad from looking up all day. Doug Yuckert and I were on the 180 before ness started with the big hydros. doug was running the 550 until he left Ness

Yup, Greg Hogan is who I was thinking of. I remember Doug too.
I don't know Coby or the Foust Fab. Not very familiar with NE WA. First project I have had in Spokane. I work for Graham Infrastructure out of Bellevue now, since PCL closed up shop for heavy highway work.

I'm almost there with the paint! All the body work is done and I got the dark blue on it.

I've been relatively set on white steel wheels, the ones on it are 20 footers and didn't think I'd like newer style black wheels, but I like that look on your truck.

 

[Ontheboulder]

I went with 18" wheels, mainly cause I got a screamin deal on the tires, but also seems they are phasing out the 16 in tires since all the new rigs are coming out with 18 - 20 inch wheels. I think I will keep the same colors but re paint in a satin finish
