Holly NJ 2 summers ago and uses it for his big jobs as long as it ain't raining or salt on the roads. Its shown w/ his talbert 50 ton trailer.

Ken was born on Aug.11'87 and the truck was built in Aug'87 so they share birthdays. Note it still has original muffler, ken says when the brackets do let loose he's going to put a straight pipe on it, Damn youngsters making noise all the time.
