Anybody know of a decent used picker truck for sale. Looking for a Dodge 4500/5500 or Ford F450/F550 with preferably a HIAB picker. Would consider a 1-ton but bigger would be better.

Anyone knows of one, let me know please.

Thanks

Thanks Boost,

Hey could you send me a link to that one? If you have it handy, if not I will keep looking! That is close to ideal...would like a crew cab, but not a deal breaker.

I have a sale pending on one of my picker trucks and took the other too the auction today,both are probally bigger than what you are looking for.Both are International tandems,one with a Atlas 140-5 and the other with a Hiab 215.5...both with remotes.

I just purchased a new one,a 2011 Peterbilt tridem with a Hiab 422-8.When I get back from my sledding trip I will give a buddy a call on what he has,I saw a few small cranes there last week.

Thanks Dave, yes both too big for what I do. The ideal would be a Dodge 5500 with a Hiab 077 picker. The Dodges are real hard to find used though. We bought a Ford F550 and I would prefer not to buy another Ford if possible.

And where the heck are you sledding???

I would say stay away from the fords we have switched out the entire fleet over the last couple of years. Dodges with a couple of Chevs now. They all have problems but if I were to buy I would go for the Dodge myself and the hiab picker.

I run all Dodges but this Ford was too good of a deal to pass up...Even if it said Ford on the grill LOL

Seriously good deal...and knock on wood, no issues yet, just not a fan.

u couldn't of said that any better longhorn its so true just someone else JUNK

Kinda funny, one of my competitors down here recently picked up a sweet looking picker truck, high miles, but looked real decent. 2006 Ford F550, no dents, all tooled up and all...

$7000 at the auction...really rubbed it in my face about how much we were spending on trucks compared to him...Truck lasted about a week, was pulled over on the side of the road broke down, I slowed, waved, and smiled, and kept on going...Talked to him later (after he gave me crap for not helping :) ) head gasket gone...So much for the auction buy...I cant afford the downtime.

My theory on auctions is, " They're selling it for a reason, if it was still good, they would still be running it".
