Time Capsule Survivor!

Ex MTO Highway Sign Repair Truck from 1985 to 2006

Colour changed at that time from original yellow with the intention to be used for aerial photography

Family issues halted completion of the project, and it has been stored since 2007.

86,900 km only

* Incredible donor body & frame for a stunning 3+3 restoration/modification project

* Aerial lift assembly could be re-engineered as a trailered unit

* Also it is certainly reconditionable as it is configured…..



Truck:

- 350 V8 4 barrel carburetor

- 4 speed manual transmission, PTO take-off

- dual rear wheels

- VERY large rear sway bar!

- hydraulic brake line-lock

- remote throttle cable

- same wheelbase as standard 8 foot box (164.5”)

- virtually no interior options…..

- passed annual mechanical safety inspection 4 months prior to decommissioning



Aerial Bucket:

- Altec 20

- 300 lb rated capacity

- hydraulic Drive

- passed Structural, Mechanical and Hydraulic inspection 4 months prior to decommissioning

- all functions operational (from both upper & lower control stations)



Overall Condition:

- undercoated from new. Virtually rust-free frame and cab. Some rust around Driver's floor - but extremely solid (see pics)

- all original panels throughout

- some paint flaking / removed / faded (see pictures)

- stored since 2007, always on a clean dry floor

- utility box has some rust inside rear wheel wells

- storage shelves/cabinets etc. are original yellow and are mostly still stocked

- driveline works virtually like new



Truck will require work due to storage & non-use; predominantly:

- exhaust work (one manifold noisy)

- front right brake line

- choke vacuum pull-off

- dash pad has advanced heat/sun damage

- tires have zero wear, but substantial groove cracks



Aerial lift is fully functional, except:

- bucket “lowering” relay requires new solenoid driver coil (temporary work-around wiring installed for demonstration)

Truck is stored in Collingwood

Transportation is available
