It's an auto crane 4004 electric over hydraulic. Its got about a 16ft reach at 1000lbs 4000lb at 4ft. Not the best crane but... happy to have one on my truck!

i have been lookin at something like that for the neck of my trailer or possibly my ton truck
 
I wish I had pics of my buddy's folks Diamond T they just finished completely restoring. It is freakin sweet! Its basically the same vintage as yours.
 
All you had to say was Detroit Diesel to have my undivided attention! Sweet project man, love Diamond T's. Silver Series nice!

Add an air starter man:woohoo:!! :). Wish more engines still had them.

4BTSwaps.com has a bunch of info on the 53 series Detroits.
 
smoken, look at the first picture from yesterday, that air starter video you posted is that truck(53 gmc) in the garage.. this is the same guy bucks other project.. if you search hear for either 453 detroit or 53 gmc you find a bunch more pict i took..
 
otherwise go on my photobucket through that video and you can see ALOT more of both, even got buck to do his first burnout with that 53 on video

Im an idiot, please excuse my buffoonery.

So the '53 GMC is "buckbz" truck. Is "buckbz" also "Grigg3" on YT and 4BTswaps then?

Again, cool trucks man!
